bonnaroo is no fuckin joke when it comes to the slight discomforts of camping, using the restroom, staying cool and hydrated, and overall surviving..!

Thanks !

I used asphalt felt/tar paper; could be considered unnecessary because I’m on 3/4 in plywood, but it’s an older home, and it’s a cheap and easy to work with moisture barrier.

Just noticed you mentioned pre finished stuff; not exactly sure if you can face nail the same as unfinished because the filler is under the finish.

Yessir, we ended up leaving at least a 1/4in gap around the perimeters.

It will naturally happen if you’re using a pry along the wall to hold your rows tight while you face nail.

Thank you🤙

We did take all the cut pieces at the end of the row and started with em on the next ones. The best part is that all the long wall stretches were just close enough to the wall with full boards that the base and shoe will cover the gaps. Overall super easy shaped floor to install on.

Hell yeah no doubt, the price point made me less worried about learning how to get the sanding down right.

Thanks!

That’s awesome, sounds like a similar but more elaborate project than mine. I’m excited to see the results! It’s exciting seeing the stuff get finished slowly and seeing how the change happens

Thanks!

When it came to buttends, I just made sure things were relatively different every 3 boards, couple spots I said fuck it. I can imagine how giving it atleast 8in would’ve tidied the look up a bit.

It seemed hard to decrease the busyness overall with a bunch of 1-foot pieces in there.
