Att: Larry. A Stained Floor

G'day, Larry, seeing as we sort of hijacked the other man's thread I'd thought I'd start a new one regarding some pictures of my approach to floor board staining.
Let us know what ya think?

WE ALSO DID THE STAIRS AS WELL.

Well, there we go. Like it?
I have other stain photos of the normal brown tones as well.

Hi bro, I was able to get into your album on picasa . 11pm finish ahhh that brings back memories. Great work
I love this trade. I dont think that people realize the amount of work and heart that goes into finishing a floor. Well done bro, it is a pleasure to know you.:2tsup:.....Larry

Great looking floor.
I can only imagine the prep work and the dedication to do something like this.
You blokes are definately craftsmen, not tradesmen.

Hi trev, seen you were on line, stopped in to say geday. Hows you been?

I am going to start taking some photos and show you some of mine.

G'day Larry.
I've been away for 2 weeks. Am only now getting caught up with the backlog at work.

I'm going to brisbane to inspect a floor tomorrow (tues). One section of the floor has verticle movement between the Tongue and the groove. About 3 sq/M. The rest of the floor is fine. All came from the same machine run. Ultraset and staple to Y/Tongue. I'm thinking the glue has not bonded, thus allowing movement.

We'll see what develops..
