Wood Laminate Floor (Part 2)
We haven’t had the same progress on the living room floor that we had going this weekend. Between work and other obligations we only worked about 30 minutes on Monday and two hours last night. But we are finally in a groove and I can say that we will most definitely have the floors completed this weekend.
We borrowed a miter saw from some friends of ours (thanks guys!!) and that has made life so much easier cutting the boards to length when necessary. I did use this opportunity as an excuse to buy a cheap table saw for cutting the last boards to the proper width (with a rip cut–which is a cut through the length of the wood).
So now we have a little more than a third of the floor covered with the new wood flooring. It is really starting to shape up:
It isn’t taking us very long now to get a row complete so progress is going to continue quickly until we hit the fireplace and have to start making miter cuts. But even that won’t take long at all, really. I’m looking forward to finishing it up and getting the trim back on the walls and moving the furniture back in. Then it will be time to shop for a cool rug to bring the room together (insert The Big Lebowski references here).
