I love Lumber Liquidators and My Husband!






I am in love with these floors. I could have never afforded wood floors if it wasn't for Lumber Liquidtors. We planned on doing the Master Bedroom, the Hallway, the Stairs, and the upstairs living room but we are out of time. DH will only get the stairs and hallway done.

The floors are unsanded and unfinished still. I am so undecided about how to finish them. I have seen these oak floors sand and polyurethened and they look beautiful. I love dark floors too so I may stain them.

I love the smell of wood. It's so much better now that disgusting, gross, icky carpet is gone.

Please leave a comment or opinion on how I should finish them.

Wood Floors

Ok so my puppy has destoyed my carpet. She has had so many accidents. I have a hoover steam vac and it works great but it cannot save this carpet.






The previous owners were smokers, my puppy thinks the carpet is a chew toy, and all the accidents made me decide it has to GO!







We bought the unfinished oak utility wood floors from lumber liquidators.









I ripped up the carpet in the bedroom and he removed the baseboards. We got 500 sq ft of the rosin paper at Lowes for $11. Lumber Liquidators was charging more for black felt paper. We got a 18 guage brad nailer for $20 at a flea market and a compressor at Walmart. A pneumatic flooring nailer is recommended but this is working just fine.







My husband is home for a few more days and it's going very slow. I think I will be finishing the floors. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he finishes.
