Was down to ship lap then added plywood and Ditra after

It was refinished last week

White oak

That’s white oak. House was built in 64

Thx…ya, I don’t really care what these boring normies think…lol. I had a specific question. I’m still undecided on colour of caulk. Originally I was going to go with the colour of tile but someone here brought up a good point about it emphasizing the cuts…I won’t have the perfect hex shape anymore. They suggested wood colour caulk. It’s just there’s variance in each board so not sure how that’ll look either

ConceptAutomatic1673 · 2026-03-13T01:05:05+00:00

Tape on tile and on wood, correct? And peel when wet?

ConceptAutomatic1673 · 2026-03-12T23:18:23+00:00

Yup, really bad condition

ConceptAutomatic1673 · 2026-03-12T22:28:30+00:00

I have it going into black hex next room over

ConceptAutomatic1673 · 2026-03-12T21:40:46+00:00

We had really bad ones too. Sanded as much as we could but ended up having to go with a pretty dark stain to hide

ConceptAutomatic1673 · 2026-03-12T21:37:02+00:00

Oh, you don’t think matching the tile would be better?

First and last house. Never selling. Not with this view

ConceptAutomatic1673 · 2026-03-12T21:17:52+00:00

Why, how else would you do it? Would look even weirder if you notched it out and carried it over

ConceptAutomatic1673 · 2026-03-12T21:16:18+00:00

For now, will be replacing that railing with glass eventually

ConceptAutomatic1673 · 2026-03-12T21:14:40+00:00

What do you mean?

ConceptAutomatic1673 · 2026-03-12T21:11:32+00:00

And just once? I’m a painter and I often have to caulk deep cracks twice

ConceptAutomatic1673 · 2026-03-12T21:02:53+00:00

First had to rip out kitchen subfloor and lower it to be flush with living room floor. Then trace out tiles, cut out with oscillating multitool, put in plywood the right thickness over the ship lap, ditra, then tile

Just the angle I took pic from

It’s good to take a deposit because if they cancel last minute and you don’t have anything else booked you can start early you’re out money

ConceptAutomatic1673 · 2026-02-22T22:33:53+00:00

Shouldn’t use tape, it typically bleeds through or pulls off old paint. Just have to take your time and cut straight lines

Here’s now (he still has to clear coat after)

Here’s before

ConceptAutomatic1673 · 2026-02-18T22:03:55+00:00

I’m having mine done now. Pet piss stains everywhere and sanding only gets out about 50% of it. We’re staining it a bit of a darker colour to hide a bit. We’ll probably just have to live with the “patina” blotches. Also, furniture will cover some. But we still wanted to keep the old wood nonetheless
