What we have been working on for the past 2 weeks. Reclaimed engineered oak glue down with plenty of little intricate details. ... As a finishing trade I feel like we have a bad habit of walking in to a job and mentally assessing it’s duration. On the next one I’m not going to subject me or my guys to the expectation of finishing by a certain time or day. If it’s a simple small job then it’s a different story all together. With something like this with so many variable to consider it only adds stress and makes you rush when you make unrealistic expectations. Obviously we all want to finish as quick as possible because it increases our profit margins by reducing labour costs. I’m slowly learning that losing a few hundred dollars extra but gaining a happy long term client is the way to go. Play the long game. Run the marathon. With no adamant time limit you open yourself up to have more pride in what you do and the name you’ve left stamped on each individual job. Ps. I’d like to add a big shout out to @dogwoodflooring for the repeat business and trust. Many more jobs to come in the future #foundation #hardwood #hardwoodinstall #engineeredhardwood #reclaimedwood #flooring #homedesign #hardwoodflooring #flooringinstallation #floorinstallation #customfloor # @ Whistler, Canada

Laminate stairs with flush pre-fab nosings. The bottom riser in the top set came out flush with the drywall so we had to put a return on the riser as well as the nose. ... Soooo many guys would have left a raw cut edge on both the nosing and riser but I wouldn’t want that in my home....would you!? #foundationfloors #flooring #laminateflooring #laminate #floors #ihavethisthingwithfloors #floorlayer #installation #flooringinstallation #allday #everyday #thisiswhatwedo #renovation #floors

The Milwaukee Inkzall ultra fine point pen. Just started using these on site and super happy with how fine they are. I normally only use pencils when marking for fear of leaving marks behind on certain materials.... With a tip this fine I might need to take it outside dinner #dadjoke Don’t ever be too proud to switch up your methods as something that was once working for you can always be improved. Even something as rudimentary as rudimentary as a marking pen. #foundationfloors #lovewhatyoudo #engineeredhardwood #hardwoodflooring #customstairnose #nosing #flooring #hardwoodflooring #vancouver #floorlayer #tradesman #entrepreneur #milwaukeetools #milwaukee #milwaukeeaddict #toolsofthetrade

SPLINE On this glue assist nail down job we started our layout in the middle of the hallway to make sure our lines were nice and clean and straight. Doing this ensures we didn’t have any little sliver fill pieces anywhere. ... It also leaves you having to install backwards on one half of the house. If this was a direct glue down then this wouldn’t be a problem but with nail down you rid yourself of a tongue to nail in to. Cue Spline piece. You rip down to desired width and glue it in to your groove. You can then turn your boards and go the right way and start nailing again on your next course.

Flooring is the #foundation upon which every beautiful space is created. 1/2 glue down with three directional changes for aesthetics on this job. Not a single transition in sight. If a floor job made a sound this one would sound like a basketball hitting nothing but net. ... Shoutout to @dogwoodflooring for the continued trust. Many more jobs to conquer and people to make happy. #foundationfloors #vancouverflooring #yvr #flooring #hardwood #engineeredhardwood #engineered #floorlayer #entrepreneurlife #allday #everydayhustle #doitright #lovewhatyoudo #hardestworkerintheroom #ontothenextone #flush #notransitions #handskills See more

Flush header transitions. Definitely takes some extra time doing these when the tile is set at all different heights. ... The finished product is well worth the extra effort.

Can you name all of the #milwaukeetools in the first picture!? We are working on a hardwood glue down at the moment and today I really appreciated all the tools I own that allow me to get my jobs done. Don’t take things for granted....one day you might end up back labouring for some shmuck and actually have to use an extension cord ... #milwaukeetools #milwaukee #milwaukeeaddict #glue #hardwood #flooring #vancouverflooring #vancouver #floorlayer #toolguy #lovetools #toolporn #doitrightordontdoitatall #allday #lovemyjob #tools #tablesaw #packoutsystem #packout
