Att: Larry. A Stained Floor

[Dusty]

G'day, Larry, seeing as we sort of hijacked the other man's thread I'd thought I'd start a new one regarding some pictures of my approach to floor board staining.
Let us know what ya think?

Hi bro, I was able to get into your album on picasa . 11pm finish ahhh that brings back memories. Great work
I love this trade. I dont think that people realize the amount of work and heart that goes into finishing a floor. Well done bro, it is a pleasure to know you......Larry

[glock40sw]

Great looking floor.
I can only imagine the prep work and the dedication to do something like this.
You blokes are definately craftsmen, not tradesmen.

G'day Larry.
I've been away for 2 weeks. Am only now getting caught up with the backlog at work.

I'm going to brisbane to inspect a floor tomorrow (tues). One section of the floor has verticle movement between the Tongue and the groove. About 3 sq/M. The rest of the floor is fine. All came from the same machine run. Ultraset and staple to Y/Tongue. I'm thinking the glue has not bonded, thus allowing movement.

We'll see what develops..
