Whew! I can finally say we are done with our epic hickory floor project. It involved tearing up the carpet and linoleum in our living room, dining room and portions of the kitchen first, then installing underlayment and solid hardwood. After putting in that last board, we installed all new baseboard molding, patched and painted walls that were damaged in this insane endeavor, and just basically finished up all the little details.
For all the start-to-finish details as well as a list of the tips and tools we used to accomplish this beast of a DIY project, follow the links below:
