Completed a short project. It took a little over a week. The guest bedroom was never "finished" from when we bought the house and it's been getting a little embarrassing lately when people stay. I finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to get it straightened out. I don't like the "getto" look. The Amish never painted this room, they only put primer on it. Also, they used this god awful linoleum throughout the house. I still have it in some places but I'm slowly getting rid of it. I also hung new 6 panel oak doors. Anyway, here are a couple before pics:




And the final results. No baseboard yet and the trim around the doors and windows is only temporary. I'll be making custom red oak trim for the entire house eventually.

Oh man that is much nicer ! It is a different room. Like the wall art.

That old flooring was awful...good job , Finster !

Is that the natural wood that was under the linoleum or did you lay new flooring? The room is beautiful, how much do you charge per night?

Garry-

great job

New flooring. It's a laminate. Looks pretty good. A little too good actually.

The Amish builds vary as much as anything. So tearing into things how was the Amish quality of your house?

Nice job

That does look great, was it hard putting the floor down?

I wouldn't let the Amish build me a tree house knowing what I know now.

Not hard once you get going. It snaps into place with a little hammer persuasion. Once you get enough down and the weight starts to hold it in place, it goes pretty quickly. I laid 320 Sq/ft in about 9 hours, by myself and I wasn't in a hurry.

What a great job! Looks amazing!

Very good, nice

Nice work but what really gets me is a guest room big enough for a couch lol . You're doing good Finster !

Finster,

I would like to suggest a different spieces than red oak for trim.. so much nicer woods to use. Even if you have red oak doors I would use something else. I would suggest cherry, rustic cherry , walnut, rustic walnut. Qtr sawn white oak.

Rustic walnut is really gorgeous

Thanks but I'm kind of committed to red oak at this point. I have other custom trim I already made and installed in the house.

That is nice!

I think your guest room is bigger than my living room.

very nice work.

Very Nice.

Looks great. Did you do it all yourself? What was the hardest part?

Really nice!
