Gamble-Stanek Family Room; Day 58 – “Pineing for Flooring”

New flooring is on site. Of course, I use the term “new” loosely. The reclaimed wood is actually “Farmhouse grade historic heart pine”. Reclaimed, or antique, flooring is manufactured by deconstructing old buildings that would otherwise be destroyed. As a result, the material is both sustainable and distinctive. For more information on reclaimed wood flooring, check out the supplier’s website by following the link below:

As a point of interest, Mountain Lumber is currently offering limited edition “Guiness Oak” flooring made from antique vats from the Guinness brewery in Dublin.

At the progress meeting, Craig and Mike meet with Susan and Janice to discuss scheduling and selections. In the picture above, we are viewing the new family room from the existing kitchen. The opening between the two rooms has been widened to improve flow, and kitchen flooring was removed. Craig is explaining how he intends to address a rather significant hump in the floor between the two rooms.

Mike is applying a jamb to the antique door salvaged by Susan. This door will be installed at the powder room.
