Floor Project Tips
Floor project tips is what this DIY howto video is about. VideoJoe is working on a flooring project & he's thinking about a number of things. He just removed some old carpets, carpet pad & tack strip, swept up the floors & now has to take a look to see what else needs to be done keeping in mind his ultimate goal for what he wants his floors to look like when he gets done. Take a look at your floors & decide what things you want to get accomplished even if there are some things you weren't thinking about when you first started your project. It's all in the prep & that means more than meets the eye when it comes time for a flooring project. VidoeJoe now knows that all the baseboards are going to be in need of cleaning too & once they are cleaned he will then know if they need to be worked on some more like caulking in places, re-painted maybe with one coat or even two coats, any patching needed, paint runs, etc.. While he's at it do the walls need to be cleaned or swept down of dust, cobwebs, etc.? Might as well look at that too while he's at it. The owner has told VideoJoe they want the existing concrete subfloors to now be the finished floors by doing whatever is needed so they can be stained! What? Yes. Uh OK. So his head is churning as once he removed the carpet, pad, & tack strip there was existing vinyl floor tiles on the concrete floors so now what to do with them. On top of that the HVAC unit in the hall started leaking & the water loosened up the tiles in the hall. Now what. See what I mean about being prepared for anything? Wow what is he going to do about all of this? One step at a time he keeps telling me. Doing a flooring project is easy...when you know how. Watch & learn as VideoJoeShows you around to his flooring project & what he will work on next. Easy!
