Alright, folks, let’s dive into my little weekend project: putting together some wooden flooring. I’ve been meaning to spruce up this spare room for ages, and I finally took the plunge. The style I picked? Cushions dancing beech – sounds fancy, huh? It’s basically this light, warm-toned wood that I thought would brighten things up.

Getting Started

First things first, I cleared out the entire room. Furniture, rugs, the whole shebang. Gotta have a blank canvas, right? Then, I gave the old floor a good sweeping and mopping. You don’t want any dust bunnies messing with your new floor.

Laying Down the Underlayment

Next up was the underlayment. This is like a cushion for your floor – makes it softer to walk on and helps with soundproofing. I rolled it out, making sure to overlap the edges a bit. Then, I taped it all down with some heavy-duty tape. Don’t want it shifting around, you know?

Assembling the Planks

• Started in one corner.
• The first few rows were a bit tricky, getting everything lined up just right.
• Clicked the planks together. They have this tongue-and-groove system, so they kinda snap into place.

It’s like a giant jigsaw puzzle. After that, I used my knee as a lever. Once I got the hang of it, it was pretty smooth sailing. Just click, click, click, row after row. Oh, and I made sure to leave a little gap around the edges of the room – wood expands and contracts with the weather, so you gotta give it some breathing room.

The Tricky Bits

The doorways were a pain. I had to cut some of the planks to fit around the door frames. And let me tell you, that was not my favorite part. Used a jigsaw for that, and it was a bit fiddly. Also, getting the last row to fit was another * finally, I made all the cuts. And the last rows were perfectly fitted.

Finishing Touches

Once all the planks were down, I nailed down some quarter-round molding around the edges to cover up that expansion gap. Gives it a nice, finished * finally, I can put all furnitures back.

The Result!

And there you have it! A brand new floor, all by my lonesome. It took a good chunk of the weekend, but honestly, it was worth it. The room looks so much brighter and more inviting now. Plus, I saved a bunch of money doing it myself. Win-win!

It is a really cushions dancing beech assembling wooden flooring after all. I mean look at it! What do you guys think?
