New Floors

We started to lay the new floors, they're 5 inch clear maple engineered boards. It took the day because they needed to be laid out so they look good, not too many small pieces together and make sure the joints aren't too close to the previous row. I used an air nailer with a shoe that fits these ½ boards, I borrowed from my brother-in-law, and it makes quick work nailing them in every 2-3 inches. No more pounding with a mallet on a traditional floor nailer, it is a little harder on the knees though.

The before look.

The after look.
