wood flooring
timeone:
Glad you guys like my project i did wonder if any would. seems thers a lot of interest in wood floors.
Forgot to mention the dust
3 1/2 bin bags full of saw dust cutting the blocks on a £50 saw i bought of ebay
3 carrier bags full from sanding, the little dust bag on the sander could be filled in 10 minutes
I did worry about the £34 belt sander from bq but it was more than upto the job the main problem was the belts clogging up went through about 25 of them in different grades
Ive done a test on the varnish today bought some cut price sadlin stuff from our local shop drys in about 1 hour kind of a satin finish which i like as didnt want it glossy, so fingers crossed itl work out my plan is to use a small foam roller rather than brush.
Ive still got thousands of blocks left so may decide to do the hallway and bathroom once ive done the lounge, and sell the rest might even get my inital money back which would be nice

Timeone
You have made a great job of your flooring job there Timeone. The fact that it is recycled plus the fact that you did it yourself is double nice. I would be proud to have a floor like that, you should as well. :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:
Cheers :beer:

Nice job. I won't use the wood in the bathroom. Moisture would heave up the blocks.

Nice work timeone - I must admit, I'm a sucker for a good parquet floor...
My house has original parquet all the way through the ground floor; the biggest problem is, since fitting central heating,the exposed hall floor has shrunk a bit, so now all the blocks wobble about. Great for hearing people (and cats) moving around downstairs, not so funny when you trip over the one that sticks up & throw your drink away...
Can you tell me: What is under your new parquet floor (looks like pitch?, but I assume it isn't), and what's the brand/type of glue you used? I need to sort mine out, and I really don't fancy faffing around with pitch...
