Floors and Trim

I loved this part. Made it feel like it was really almost finished! I should say, first we did the storage loft floor which was super easy and fast. Think we got it done in a little over an hour, that includes time spent setting up the saw.

First you staple down some foam stuff so it's cushy and doesn't squeak. Then you just follow the directions on the box. It's amazing how easy things are when you just take the time to read the directions instead of trying to figure it out intuitively. Since this is a 'floating floor you have to leave 1/2'' around the sides for it to move otherwise it buckles. The gap is covered by floor and crown molding.

There were no directions that came with the pine for the trim, but that was pretty easy anyway. Just had to figure out how wide to go with it and what style. I chose a little overhang on the top board and put a slant on it. I think it looks nice!

Ta-da!
