Things have been pretty crazy the last few weeks. We are finally settled in and aren't working on the house full time... so I am finally going to start catching up on the pictures. I have tried to be good about documenting the whole process, there are a few gaps but you'll get the idea.
Where were we...ah yes, flooring. The subfloor in what is now the bedroom was a mixture of OSB from the addition as well as 3/4" T&G flooring over top of rough sawn planks. This old portion of the floor has a pronounced crown to it. As best I could measure it was roughly 1/2" out of flat over 10ft. Since it usually recommended that the sub-floor be within 1/4" over 10ft I decided to rent an 8"drum sander.
This beast made quick work of smoothing out the rough spots and getting me much closer to something resembling flat. I took the center of the floor down about 1/4" until I started seeing the blind nailed fasteners and decided to stop there. The sander was definitely worth the money.
