Hardwood Floor Install

Heck, you could have dropped by my house. It's warm here (-5).

Morning of day 3. Last night it got down in the teens and the inside of the camper was 29 this morning. I was getting chilly last night and when I got up to pee I grabbed another blanket. After that I sleep fine. A quick shower before the installer gets here this morning and I'm a street person for the day.

I know you're a purty tough guy, but I still feel sorry for you Temporary inconvenience for a permanent improvement.

I actually like sleeping in the cold. Tonight is going to be another cold night. The den, formal living room and part of the family room is laid. After that comes the dirty dusty sanding. And the final three days is staining and sealing. That is the worst part as I shouldn't even come in the house to pee.

You could park at Walmart. Then you can use their bathrooms.

I can use the bathrooms at home. Heck I could use my own bed but why waste a chance to sleep out in the cold? Temperatures were into the teens again last night.

They are gonna find you one morning frozen to your Henry.

But at least he will have died happy!

[Sir Henry]

Well I might have more time now that its the weekend and no one is in the house. Most of the wood is down and just needs sanding and finishing. Hey look for my Henry pump thread coming soon.

Right after you man up and shoot us a pic of that bad boy.

[Sir Henry]

This picture was taken yesterday morning. Most of the room has been lain. Notice how far ahead he plans the strips. He doesn't have much waste.

I went back and corrected it so I could say I didn't know what you were talking about. Then I realized I spelled it waiste so I changed it to the correct waste.

All the flooring is installed and sanded. They put the first of three coats on it last night. It sure stinks. I'm posting this and going outside again. I sleep in the teardrop again last night with temps in the teens. I'll post pictures when I can stand to be in the house for more than five minutes.

SH, if you're looking at the flooring guy's waist, you've been sleeping in that cold camper for too long.

Sorry I don't bat both ways.

Second coat is on and another cold night in the teardrop. Today is the third and final coat so tonight will be the last night I have to sleep in the trailer. But I like it. Last night it got down to the low twenties and the thermometer read right at 32 degrees inside.

I like sleeping in the cold as long as I have warm blankets.

[Sir Henry]

All the work has been completed and most of the smell is gone. Gone enough that I can stay in the house for more than 15 minutes. The furnace was barely blowing so I replaced the filter. Don't see how any air was going through it and the furnace couldn't heat the house above about 65 degrees. With the new filter I turned the heat up to 85 and it has no problem holding it there now. With the high heat and low humidity which has been between 10 and 16 during the curing time it dried and cured fast. Still not cured all the way but I can start to place things on the floor this morning as long as I don't move it while its on the floor. Its dark right now but when it gets lighter I'll take a few pictures.

Its good not to be homeless during the day.

[Sir Henry]

Here are the pictures.
