Looks good Nick - must have been a bugger carrying around all those bricks though. There is an additive that you can use with Cabot's poly floor finish (CFP or something?) that makes the finish very hard and resistant. It worked well on our Cedar (very soft) coffee table - until our toddler got hold of it.
Cheers

Yea it was a bugger, but i would rather use these pavers than have the flooring all over the place (Up and Down that is). I actually said to the bloke who helped me lay them, there must be a hardener that you can mix with this Ultraset to make it go off quicker, because it takes ages, sometimes up to 6 and 8 hours!Quote:

G'day Fullas.
Its just that I deal with REAL Australian hardwood every day.
Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, Grey Ironbark, Blue Gum, Grey Box, Grey Gum, Red Ironbark, Brush Box, Turp, and a host of others.
These are hardwoods for serious work. They are the hardwoods that cause you to break into a sweat just looking at them. You need really sharp tools for these legends of the Bush. They will out last you, Me, Our kids and Their kids as well. Tassie Crap Oak will most likely need replacing in 10 to 15 Years.
Hooroo.

ah now I catch your drift Trev...
hey Ray, seems me and you are into the girly man flooring :)
My apprenticeship is littered with orrible memories of real man's hardwood, I aint going back EVER !
I've paid my due's, now that I'm old and tired I'm finding much comfort in rad pine and the like.
Seems that Way Pope! I don't work with the stuff, i have never used it, but i can say i am very happy with the floor, and alot of people are saying that they have Tas Oak Floorboard and they are extremely happy with theirs!! I can't back that with Expertise like Trev can!! LOLQuote:

G'day All.
Actually, Jarrah is bloody hard as well.
Damn shame it's on the other side of the Island.
No need to duck :D .
Hooroo.

I'm also putting in a few squares of Karri as well as the Jarrah and for the price I'm paying I reckon it includes an import duty. :D
As promised everyone, here are the photos of my finished Kitchen, floor will look good when it is sanded and polished!
If anyone has any questions, fire away.........

Can't say I'm a fan of the wall colour but the rest is coming along nicely.
The green will probably grow on me when the whole thing is complete :)
Just for the record i din't pick the wall colour! Different isn't it! It was the wife...........
