Flooring and Details

So when the project was just a thought in our minds, we had hoped to refinish the floor throughout the house. We love the original fir floor though it had obviously seen better days. Fir is an extremely soft wood and is susceptible to great damage if not sealed correctly. After multiple parties and the forces of our cats' claws, it was apparent that our floors needed some help.

Upon closer inspection, however, we found that our floors had been sanded to the end of their useful existance. So we decided upon bamboo as a replacement material. It was a close match in color with even more vibrance. It's a sustainable building material and should withstand the force of our most out of hand dance party.

Here's the old floor (notice the water stains and general disrepair)



Here we are down to the subfloor, I repaired some squeaks and made sure that everything was holding up well.



And then the new floor installed!
