leveling the floor

these crazy old floor need a bit of straightening before we put down the new floors.

we were surprised at finding relatively little rot was below the hardwoods. but we are laying new plywood to give the floors extra support and to level the floors.

laying shims

geometry

just a little rot

making progress

almost there

done

and now its time to paint!

the goal:

to rehab this very loved home. our mission, in keeping with our values we strive for in daily life, is to be as "green" as we can. we are not perfect and do not claim to be the best at being "green", but we do try very hard to walk softly on this earth. in renovating our home, we want to keep as much out of the landfill as possible. we want to use recycled products when we can. we want to use earth friendly products when we can. we want to reuse as much as possible. its going to be a challenge. we are going to have to be creative! but i think we are up for it!
