Finaled my room trim i was doing. Now to touch up walls and coat my base shoe some more. I'm debating how i want to persue the base shoe really . Its already been through several processes , alot more than normal ! lol . My base and floor are like this . I used Ciranova products . It was basically oil and wax . I used to be a vested hardwood mechanic . I've never done this to anyones floor ever. lol. if i did it would cost alot !!!!!!! Why ?
2 coats black nior reactive stain
bleached 3 times .ran out and used some sodium hypochlorite that reversed my wasting from the pool store at same ration as hardwood bleach. except wet of coarse.
1 coat oil
2 coats white ciranova hardwax to fill the grain giving it a reversed look .
Then its coated with alchohal sealer
4 coats some german kind of supermatt finish.waterbase . Always hand sanded too, the whole floor. no buffer screen marks. Never happened. lol.
So im debating weather or not to do the sealer and waterbase on the shoe. It would just need 1 coat waterbase though. my delema is "will it flake when cutting " ? I can touch up so i guess i have to do it. The floor looks new old .I call it "medieval " lol . My old boss gave me some old white so it stuck in cracks and i had to paint and pen that shit out. One reason cost so much to have done. Has reduing this kinda floor built in automatic because of it takes alot of attention and can screw up easily !!!!! my subfloor is osb so i was fucked in the board movement after so much water type stuff used . stapled , it dont give a fuck ! lol. Especially with 3.25" like this or bigger.

2 black , 3 bleach , 1 oil , 2 white then oil again before alchohal sealer and waterbase..JPG

Super cool looking! I assume that's red oak with the pattern of the grain.
The look reminds me of oak that's treated in ammonia fuming to give it that 500 year old look.

Got floor in over last couple days, still haven't messed with drain pipe in shower yet. I'm having my plumbing consultant come look at it tomorrow.

Using fake red brick walls there (except in shower).

Had to buy a couple more sheets because I decided to use two on opposite wall. Old paneling was dry rotted or something. I literally broke it up into small pieces with my bare hands without exerting myself.

I used 2 sheets, had to cut one down, didn't do the best job of blending them together. I have to put a dresser in there anyway, it's going right over the seam. Lol. (I think I somehow reversed one of the pieces, surely they're supposed to line up?)

At least it's in a place not many will see.
I kinda like the fake brick look, if I can figure out how to match seams, I'd like to put it in the TV room on one wall down here. I'll have to lay 2 sheets in driveway and figure it out. All the other sheets on toilet walls are singles, no butting.
Nothing is ever easy, it looks 100% better than before though.

Long day ahead tomorrow.

I went fishing this morning, had a helluva good chile verde wet burrito on the way home, cleaned fish and took a nap

17 and 16 inches, and fat

They were big enough that I couldn't cut the heads off with my pocketknife like I normally do, so I had to break out my walrus tusk-handled slicer

I wonder if you had flipped one of the sheets 180 if the pattern would have lined up?

That was definitely not a good day.

You sir are well on your way to a gold star & possibly a little slap & tickle later if you play your cards right.
