This story is very interesting. The short story is: David's friend Eric found a homeowner that was giving away their hardwood oak flooring... With 5 sf of water damage and custom stained in the field, the flooring was essentially "unable to be repaired/matched". So the insurance company was willing to pay for complete new floors. They only needed someone to take away their "damaged" goods. Their issue to deal with, our marvelous gain! So, David went Tuesday night to pull up his share from these kind people's home and trucked it away this evening and so kindly brought me a smidgen sample. So here it is. (David wanted to show his boot with it... guys.)The plan according to David is to install, sand, and re-stain to be a warmer/darker hue. I think its a splendid idea. And all for a small fee b/c David knows EVERYONE in ANY field imaginable.
The other amazing thing is that it is solid oak hardwood. Not engineered, so it can be sanded down and re-stained like, 5 more times. Which I see as a great incentive to a potential home buyer (PHB).
This week prepping for the tile floor commenced. The plan for this is that the kitchen, hallways and bathroom floors will be 18"x18" travertine tile, (a great look to make a space look bigger) with the new master fabulous shower having some nice detailing within. Stay tuned for some amazing pictures to come in the next few weeks!
