Bamboo Floor Project Gallery

[drscott]

Here's the Bamboo Floor Project Gallery I promised. Punted the gym today -- I was just too tired.

There are lots of little consequences to changing over to wood floors -- we've had to put felt dots or rubber cups under most of the furniture (so you can slide it without marring the wood) and will be shopping for a nice area rug for under the coffee table, plus a few runners for special situations (like next to the beds and high wear areas.) More shopping fun awaits us. We also had to rip out the built-in shelves in Mike's office, since they interfered with the installation and weren't nice enough to keep permanently, so there's another shopping trip (and Ikea furniture-building session.)

There was so much sawdust on the bottom of the pool I only finished cleaning it today, and I'll put in a new filter since the old one is beyond its design life. These filters are basically big paper filters, rather like a 3' tall car air filter, and after a few years no amount of cleaning will fix them.

I looks wonderful. Don't you love all the trim work you get to do along with the flooring? I feel a certain kinship with the flooring in the second pic - I'm also a product of Tracy, CA.

Skandia from the Container store is also great for shelves. We used it and IKEA in our place.

I haven't been to a Container store, but they just opened in San Jose, so we'll take a look. The web catalog looks good and they let design your own shelf unit, which is what we need.

You may be from Tracy but I bet you weren't laminated in a Chinese factory. :-)

The Design-it-Yourself was the attraction; the shelves held books, printers, & several mini-tower, bookcase, & laptop-sized servers. That and two tables to use as a desk of each of us. And the Container Store was 2 miles away but IKEA was 10.
