JDMCQ's Garage

nice!!!

 

I'm really liking how my flooring test turned out. What do you guys think?

 

It has been distressed (beat up), wire brushed (removes soft grain) and I applied a stain with a penetrating oil instead of a finish that will build up a film on top. We are going to throw it down for the dogs to abuse and see how it holds up.

 

too dark

 

Most of the wood work in the house will be white so it should look really good IMO. Your Opinion may vary

 

Why?

MY opinion is the ONLY one that counts!!!

 

Maybe in your house, but my wife would beg to differ with you when it comes to her house.

 

I like the dark floors better too, especially with the lighter color cabinets and wall colors.

 

Did you get it used ?

 

I just like lighter woods... Now if I had a HUGE house with lots of windows for light, that might be another story. Think my house would always be too dark with dark floors

 

nope, it was some my dad had left over from doing his floor.

It was unfinished red oak that was nailed to some MDF, sanded, wire brushed, stainded, distressed, and then the finish applied. I've heard really good things about the finish and because it is a penetrating oil, it should be fairly easy to repair.

 

There should be a lot of windows to help bring in the natural light. If we didn't have that, your right the room would look smaller and too dark.

 

The wife doesn't seem to care that the floors will require more cleaning, she likes the dark floors.

 

Me and Erica's possible new boxer is in live. Would paste here but my phone won't let me...

 

She's so cute. My wife is Jealous. We have 2 boxers already, I told her no more.

 

That puppy is way too cute... I'm not even a dog person.

 

Thank you. I love my GSD, and no dog will replace her. She is slowly getting used to being back inside. So this will be her dog.

 

They are great dogs, just lots of energy. Very smart too.

 

I think so. And if we end up not being able to handle her we will find her a different place. Saga needs a playmate anyway.

 

Good Saturday morning Garage. Two more fun days left on this vacation.
