When new boards meets old.

I want to show you in these two photos the different look when an extension with new floor boards meets old. On the top photo there are a couple of boards that divides the new and old section. This is a good solution when the boards don't have the same width.
On the bottom photo they have tried to aligne the boards without the dividing boards. The old section (darker boards) had carpet on it before and the lighter had been sanded and coated once before. If you have to repair any of the floors try to match the floor boards and use second hand boards if nesseary. These floors are both Tassie oak and look so different in colour becouse one was protected and one was raw (under carpet).

These cross lines are a result from people cutting carpet or lino etc with a Stanley knife straight on the floor. The lines are usually so deep that you cant't sand them off. So don't use your floor as a chopping board if you want them to look nice.

A late night test from my Blogger app!

As we try to get the grips on how to get our blogs updated (my wife and I) with the Blogger app. It seems that you have to have a Google+ account and a gmail to access and log in to your Blogger app and not just a Blogger account. As my wife is trying to get the Blogger app to let her in to do a post, she is getting stuck at the profile page of Google. Where to go from here is the question? I guess a lot of people have been frustrated and deleted the Blogger app as a result of not being able to sign in in the first place!

With this being a test here is a beautiful Australian gum tree photo uploaded from my iPhone

Waiting for the coating to dry...

As I'm sitting and waiting for the 1:st coat to dry, I thought I should try and get my second post done! One of the many benefits of using a nontoxic coating is, you don't have to leave the building! As a matter of facts when we did the floors at our own place we slept in the house! No one was effected by the smell and we could carry on with our daily life even though we had to camp out in the living room. The kids loved it and it has been a special treat for the kids to sleep on their mattresses in our lounge room ever since that day. They love to jump and wrestle and be a bit crazy. So no problems when using Bona's nontoxic and non yellowing polyurethane, to necessary leave the house. There have been many times when people have moved their furniture to a couple of rooms or garage and had only to be off the floors just when its wet (for 5 hrs). That's one of my priorities when dealing with people, to make as little interruption to their daily life as possible. Oh the coating is drying so I better get back to work.. See you soon!
