How to install and hard finish a southern white pine floor. A novice pine board flooring Installation, by a weekend warrior homeowner. The boards, floor tools, and some supplies were purchased at Lumber Liquidators (R), labor not included. This home improvement project is targeted for the by the novice weekend warrior homeowner.This novice install by a weekend warrior homeowner as a do it yourself project with no experience in floor installation. At the time, I was over 60 years old with a bad knee, doing the project by myself. The moral of this story is, if I can do it, you can do it! Also, southern pine is a soft material, and it's hard to get (no pun intended) a hard surface on a soft pine floor. Most do it yourself-ers would not even try, But maybe distress the wood with log chains and only stain it, leaving it soft. Of course, I wanted the best of both worlds, the beauty of the southern pine large plank board floor with a hard surface. I also like the light look either white or yellow without any stain.I've liked the look of the southern pine, and I didn't have any instructions on how to do it, so I thought that I could write this book so you could benefit from my experience and mistakes!I bought the flooring from flooring liquidators and delivered it with my truck and installed it myself as well as finished it with a hard polyurethane product.This how-to manual is fully illustrated with pictures every step of the way arranged sequentially so you can see each step of the process and project. Although the book is written through a novice perspective, it does assume some level of familiarity with hand air and electric power tools such as saws, drills, and sanders, and you have probably taken on do it yourself projects around the house before. If this skill level describes you, then you're ready to take on this project!
