Days 70 & 71, Fix the Sub Floor and Jobsite Family Visit

We had a very special Family visit to our job site.

Now we are ready to attack the sub floor so we can provide a true and flat surface for our new red oak floor. Being level is everything based on weaving the current planks with the new planks.

When the builders removed the sub floor plywood. they found a second sub-floor underneath. That was a stroke of luck. They were able to re-build a new floor true and level.

Stacy applies glue to the wood sections that the new sub floor plywood will fit over. Once the floor is set, Darrell comes along with his magic floor screw machine

I was very pleased that Darrell and Stacy were able to get the desired flatness. Now that that task is complete we can move on the next phase.

Darrell finished the final fastening of the new sub floor. Stacy pushes the plywood down as the final sheet is secured in place.

Darrell sands the pony wall finished rail edge. The whole family room wall looks like one piece. I can't wait to see it painted and the half door stained.

Look at our new French doors. They are waiting for their stain and hardware so they can allow the home dwellers, family and visitor to enjoy their passage through the opening living space to back porch.

New to the back porch is our new lights, all wall mounted in oil rub bronze.

NEXT: The Entry floor is fixed and ready for its new floor.
