Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this here floorin’ stuff, this… what they call it… LVL dancin’ and larch assemblin’ wooden floorin’. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But it ain’t nothin’ too complicated once ya get the hang of it. It’s just like puttin’ together a puzzle, only bigger and ya walk on it.

First things first, ya gotta get that old floor outta there. Before replacin’ your floor, ya know, the one that’s all creaky and worn out. Rip it out! Don’t be shy, give it a good yank. Just make sure ya don’t fall through the floor while yer at it! We don’t want no broken bones now, do we?

Now, this here larch wood, they say it’s tough stuff. Waterproof too, like them boats they got out on the water. Larch is a hard wood among the softwoods, they say. Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me, but I guess it means it’ll last a good long while. They use it for fences and such, so it must be strong. And they say it can be pretty too, with a fine-grained pattern and a light color. I ain’t never seen nothin’ so fancy in my day, but I reckon it’d look nice in a house.

Anyways, once ya got the old floor gone, ya gotta make sure the bottom part, the… uh… the subfloor, they call it, is good and ready. In this comprehensive guide, we dive into the intricacies of subfloor preparation, they say. Intricacies? Hmph. Just means ya gotta make sure it’s flat and clean. Sweep it up good, get rid of all them crumbs and dirt. If it ain’t flat, ya gotta make it flat. Might need to use some of that stuff, whatchamacallit… levelin’ compound. Just pour it on and smooth it out. Easy peasy.

Then comes the fun part, puttin’ down the new floor. This here publication provides a reference guide for the installation of solid timber strip flooring over bearers and joists, timber-based sheet flooring products and concrete slabs. Sounds complicated, don’t it? But it ain’t so bad. Just follow the instructions, like puttin’ together a puzzle, like I said before. Start in one corner and work yer way across. Make sure them boards are snug and tight, no gaps. Ya might need to use a hammer and a block of wood to tap ’em in. Don’t go hammerin’ too hard though, ya might break somethin’.

• Get rid of the old floor
• Make sure the subfloor is flat and clean
• Start puttin’ down the new floor

Now, if yer puttin’ this floor in a hallway that’s shaped like an L, well, that’s a bit trickier. To lay wood flooring in an L-shaped hallway, ya gotta be careful. Ya gotta cut the boards just right so they fit around the corners. Measure twice, cut once, that’s what my old pappy used to say. And he was a smart fella, even if he didn’t know nothin’ about this fancy dancin’ floor stuff.

And speakin’ of dancin’, they say this here floor is good for that too. These offer special dance or sprung floors, so-called dance carpet, dance floors made of special PVC, are preferred in many dance schools and theaters. However, good, hard, noble parquet floors are also excellent for dancing. I ain’t much of a dancer myself, my knees ain’t what they used to be. But I reckon it’d be nice to have a floor that’s smooth and sturdy enough to do a little jig on if the mood strikes ya. Being durable and waterproof, this wood is ideal for use as flooring.

So, there ya have it. That’s all there is to this LVL dancin’ and larch assemblin’ wooden floorin’. Just rip out the old, make sure the bottom part’s good, and put the new stuff down. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essential steps to prepare, install. Easy enough, right? Even an old woman like me can figure it out. And if I can do it, you can too.

Now get to work and don’t be dilly-dallying! A new floor ain’t gonna put itself in, ya know!
