| The bare subfloor after ripping out the carpet. Had to patch up a few cracks and only leveled out one spot. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| BEFORE - serene and carpeted living room with nothing wrong with it... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The first two rows takes ALOT of patience. Had to cut about 2.5 inches off the first row of planks to even out the last row (a table saw is the ONLY way to go). Oh and I really should've watched the video one more time before I got started. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I was totally motivated after the third row was completed ...looks pretty damn good! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Closeup Look at that level floor. Amazing how it's indistinguishable where the planks begin and end in places. I can tell already that the upkeep is going to be pretty easy which is great. Glad I went with pine, very realistic. Looks beautiful when the sunlight filters in. I just LOVE the color!! |

| AFTER - How great does this look?! Still have to do the trim work plus another 250 square feet but for now...just enjoying my progress to date. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Ok so it's not part of the floor install but I couldn't resist showing off my first attempt at installing wainscoating. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
