Carpentry / Woodworking Flooring

What happens when you run out of wood flooring!

While working on refurbishing and refinishing our dining room floor, we ran out of wood! Mercifully, there was more wood available in the adjacent living room. Though it required us to use Plan B, both the dining room and living room eventually were finished!

    After removing the boards and nails, the wood was planed and ready to be put back.

    I read your blog post, trying to figure out what happened here. You pulled up the wood to lay it in a different direction and you ran out? BTW- I'm so impressed by what you did!

    Yeah--we pulled up the wood flooring because it was laid over the subflooring, running in the same direction so when the 100+ year old subflooring warped, the whole floor became wavy. And I don't know how it was even possible to run out. We should've had extra since we pulled some out where we put in the new steps and I used every last piece. It worked out though. Now the living room has carpet and the dining room wood floor is beautiful (and smooth!). I'll share some photos of that today.
