Project Update, part 5

The minimum floor was installed.  We are ready for the kitchen cabinets to be installed next Saturday. 

Kevin, Pop and I (and Max for a little while) were able to complete the family room and kitchen floors in 1 full (very full) day.  A few weeks ago, I purchased a power nailer off of ebay.  Previously we had rented a power nailer, but since we were going to be installing the floors in sections, over many weeks, we figured it would be cheaper to buy it. 

Kevin was the nailer, Pop was the cutter and I was everything else, the wood carrier, the piece spreader, the cork layer, the trash cleaner-upper.  Max was my trash helper and the picture taker for a little while.

It was a long day with lots of time spent on hands and knees, but the results were amazing.  Toby came down and giggled when she could walk on the floors without shoes. 


We used 1/4″ cork sheets for the underlayment
