let's go bad here and today's exciting episode we cover this old floor with a new floor the
older floor is damaged the new floor is going to make it look like I think of beating media
YouTube yes Scott Brown carpentry so we're going back to Elysee today now we repaired a floor at
Alice Lee I can remember it might have been last year we needed a reinforce that floor and rather
than reinstating it with the traditional timber that was already there we just put plywood there
and the reason for that is because we're going to put a flooring overlay over the whole thing
so in order to do this flooring we need to take the skirting off so our walls were purposely
unfinished they've got the Kurth coat on just seal them so we're popping the skirting off and
we can sand all the way up to the wall and also get the flooring in there here there's a bit of
a guide because we need to cut the bottom in the door jamb we obviously can't tear the door
Gemma so we make a gap from the door jamb to the floor the whole reason that I got the sand
of this morning and all these sanding discs is because we need to take the layer of varnish
that's on the floor off and that is so when we put our new flooring over the top it can stick
to it we're going to glue the new floor also the sander I'm hopefully going to take out this big
hump that's in the floor so once we've punched all the nail holes and got this hump out of it
then we just take all the varnish off and then part of and I can start putting the floor down
yeah these Maldon seem to have a problem the same time it is
ripped off and it took some of the rubber with it anything that's good
talk to the guys at the higher place varakin it's cause of the nails there's definitely
no nails sticking out but obviously as you sand the different layers you expose
the nail more so I mean that's that could be it there could be one thing more like
a gouge on the timber there's no gouge on the timber maybe that's what did it
either way they're gonna bring a replacement I'm gonna punch some nails in the meantime
all right show tonight from Kenneth hi for bringing out another one
so the one we're using today is an engineered oak and it kind of looks like plywood when you
look on the edge here the top layer of this plywood is the oak finish and it's finished
it's got the varnish iron sealed sir no now is it going for the top of this any now as we do
in areas that will be covered by skirting or in the tongue here we kind of do like a
secret nail on a 45 degree angle through there and I've got the 18 gauge nailer much thinner
nails than your regular 16 gauge finishing guns so that's the method of operation here
this is actually called naked oak and just got nothing to do with clothing you know we're not
going to change our attire in order to install this but the reason they caught
naked oak is because it's not free well to a certain extent there's no big knots everywhere
we're trying to coordinate the different shades of thunder is it something that won't catch
the eye there's sort of darker shades and lighter shades this kind of a lighter shade
get used to them yeah I haven't hung out with the in a while so I forget the use
the camera bloody follow the air with me I've been hiding it the big job man with
each other my diesel our reseller it's two dollars per litre basically as we release
of no man so you put that in the corner waver you wanna get a square yeah Anna
shoots a line this way that way in a 90 mmm she's it for inside work inside and outside
I haven't even used that man because I gotta read this bloody thing look at the book on that
you get a coffee
good break was good to see you camera it's good to see you too
so that's empty in the first bucket really pretty quickly my me great other one to his way enough so
it's a rapid cure glue two to three hours so this part here is pretty solid now so this area is an
example of why I'm putting a floor on top of the floor was a good idea this bathroom tile level is
now pretty much level with our new floor and we're still got our lose gap here and we're putting a
brass plate over there and then it'll be flat and the carpet is also higher than the rest of the
original floor so adding this layer of flooring brings everything on the same level here's a
tricky little area that we have to finish ripping in here put approximately yeah then we want to get
this one needs to go yes we try to keep it sliding to a minimum sometimes you can't avoid it but you
don't really want to be sliding the glue around too much put it right to the end in this part
this part needs to go under there this is like the maximum sliding that we're gonna do in this job
here we are we've moved the fridge and we're doing the other half this floor is feeling so so solid
so solid all the way through here why'd you do that what do you think of gluing flooring down
just a little bit more to go a powder those are good yeah the benchtop comes next week
and we're gonna put these last few boards in in the morning pretty all right considering yeah
thank you right there - come here buddy every box had like six short ones and then three long ones
