BIG update. We laid the bamboo flooring today, including the trim and quarter round in the room. It is fabulous, but don’t take my word for it. The pictures are here. This morning it was clean concrete and tonight it is a finished floor. Including closets. The change is so spectacular.
Chris n Staci got here about 12:30 and we got started about 1:10. They left about 9:30. So, about 8 hours to rough in everything. The main floor took about 4 hours and the last row took easily an hour. It included lots of custom cuts around three doors.
I need to find a wood filler that is the color of bamboo to get all the finish nail holes. A bead of caulk in lots of places for tiny gaps on the baseboard. The closets don’t have baseboard or quarter round.
And Christopher gave me a great suggestion. To use a bamboo chair rail to really set it off. This is a fantastic idea. Now, I just have to find some online, because locally they have reducer, T molding, and quarter round only.
Anyway, I love the floor. Yay!
