Here is the go, If you have tried screwing down the floor boards and there is still a squeek, then the only other area to look at is the framing under the boards. What happens in a lot of cases in...

There is not another forum like this one in the world anywhere. That what makes this forum so good. Its members are not afraid to share their knowledge.

I'll get to see that tomorrow

One of the reasons we enjoy our trade is the challange and end result of refirbing a worn out floor. We see a lot of high quality work emerge from solid effot and always look back over our shoulders...

You must be very proud of you hard work and effots. Your floor looks great from the pics. Well done. I dont think most people appreaciate in the hard work that goes into preparing a timber floor ....

I guess your right cuz, it would be cheaper and quicker for a new door and cut down to size.

Geday mate, chrisp was sooooo close. I liked his the best, But steel jams...Hmmmmmmm,

I vote for chrisp

on the external entry door , i would just lower that triangle piece and mabe attach a piece the same species to the inside. Do a fresh cut with a new blade on your saw to get a clean line and then...

I would go to the local veeneer supplier and buy two sheets that are larger than the door. I would then glue and pin nail a extention to the bottom of the door , then laminate the new sheets over the...

That cool bro, i hate seeing anyone get hurt.

Um i am looking forward to the end .
If i was you dude , i would get him to show you his latest work and after seing it...

Kia ora bro,
Filling the floor is fine if a resin mix is used and not a powder mix. The powder mix will crack during seasonal changes and will eventually fall out. With a resin mix it tends to be...

I have some builders use fibro, but now days if i need to pack battens or joists, i use plastic packers . You can buy them from the bigger building supplly companies and they come in different...

Yes that is true, I remember a couple of weeks ago that i sanded a deck with my machine, but i had to leave it because there was a directors meeting just about to start in the office next door to the...

The timber will start to get sun damaged. The top layer dries out and starts to dry out and darkens. It looses its natural timber colour. Sanding it will return its natural colour. It you oil it when...

Be quick with oiling your deck. Get a deck wash and wash it down then use FEAST WATSON decking oil. Roller coat 3 x coats.MMMMMMM yulll love it
Or better still, get a pro sander in to run over it...

Hi roo mate,

We just sanded and coated the coin production of the Royal Australian Mint and used the product that gazza (hammer head) mentioned, It is called Toby Aquamax Non-slip, It has a R10...

Simple ..... solid floor lasts 200 years laminates 10 years. Laminates look good but natural timber floors look great, ask gazza.

I once saw a floor designed from pine ply cut into 300mmx300mm squares and then laid as parquet. The designer instructed the installer to lay each piece so that the grain was running contry to the...

Use a brush that is about 5 mm thick and as wide as you can get. You will need to brush in each gap, wipe of the excess from the top as you go along. I have seen some deck builders coat the boards...

The 20th is good i will book you in. I got toby 2 pac gloss on board, we can wack that down. That parquet was a honour to sand gaz, That building has heaps of history, cheers mate.

Hey bro Merry xmas to you and your family.
Wow 3 weeks holiday......Um eer ! .Whats a holiday, I seen one of them things once, but i drove straight past it.

I am going all the way through. Just in case i am needed

Hey gaz, sup dude, ready for the new year ?

That is . inject in the sealant not the metho

You want a flexable sealant in there to take up the gap. Use a colour close match using no more gap or fullers sealant. Why flexable? Under the floter is a 3mm maxalon underlay. Anything solid will...

geeeze mate, did ya get sore fingers writting all that.
Merry christmas to you bro, its a season to reflect on the reason.

Did you know that you can mix in paint tint into single pac polurathane. It is possible and it is hard wearing.

Not hard, Most comercial sanding machines will sand it of using 24 grit. I dont think that the smaller hire machines are able to. They are to light. You can try painting on in small areas some paint...

Lay 15mm ply over the entire area to be covered and install 19mm thick t/g on top of the ply. This will give you the best results in your case.You can install the ply yourself, and even install the...

Doing all of this may be painfull and inconvienent, but it is better to get it done now and out of the way. Soon you will be able to enjoy your floor and all of it will just then become a...

Hi dude, i know how you must feel, it is disapointing to look across your floor and feel second best, If you have the time and the patience to go one step further. Get a other floorsander in to give...

He needs to leave it alone. Tell him to not wipe it with a mop. If there is humidity then there is enough water in the air to do the job. Just leave it and it will harden. It just will take a couple...

Thanks dusty, As you and i know, its is the understanding of wood.
OBBOB, replace is easy, all you do is chop out the bad bits and fill in with good bits. Then resand. What i would do is to remove...

i think that it is not steps, He has used concrete piers everywhere else, i recon if they were a support , then he would have used concrete again. That opening does not look like a door opening but...

OK i am back. Why replace rather than re sand to fix ?
When the fiber gets wet it expands as it draws in the water into the cell. The cell of timber resembles the same texture as the pith of an ...

It always is a pain when that happens. I agree with trevor on leaving it for a while. The problem is that there is most likley moisture on the surface of the yellow tounge. From your photos , it...

Me to. Hardwood battons, use spikes or splitz to fasten battens.Glue and nail flooring. Dont consider anything else.

Hey cuz, any pics

Sanding the chipboard will assist in a secure adhesion. There are a couple of good glues, The most common one is Bostik Ultra set in a 600ml sausage. You will have to buy a chaulking gun to fit that...

In the middle picture you can see swirl marks. These are made from using a 120grit sanding disc and not a screen grit, Now that may not mean much to you but a lot of sanders use this method to...

Getting a bit further into my research... quick question - having never dealt with "lineal" meters before... am I correct in thiking that this is just a measure of the length of timber - regardless...

Give Up drinking


I had to stop drinking. I had 18 bottles of whiskey in my cellar and was told by my wife Lara to empty the contents of each and every one of them down the sink, or else.
