From trees to flooring
My husband cut down Ash trees from our woods this Fall. The ash borer had eaten them and they were as good as dead. He felled about 20 -30 trees. They were huge! They sat in our back 40 for a time as the Fall rains had come and we couldn't get them out without lots of damage to the land.
Well, we finally were able to transport them to the mill and had them milled into 5 inch plank flooring. We intend to stain them in american traditional.
As I write my husband is installing the flooring. He has two rooms finished.....and as he says 100 sq.ft accomplished only 3000 sq. ft to go! Knock yourself out, babe!
I am looking forward to the finished product as it will be a beautiful contrast against our white beadboard and white trim, and stained french doors.
So, now I can tell everyone that we have flooring directly from our own woods! Cool, huh? Just like Little House on the Prairie! |
