Looking good! Glad I subscribed. What did you use to widen the door, reciprocating saw? ---

Is that hardwood floor nailed in? From the pics it looks like you have huge gaps in between the pieces and the one side it doesn’t look like it even goes all the way to the trim. It could just be the pic though. Also, you put some of the small pieces too close together where another one starts or ends. FYI, you want to mix it up with long planks and short planks, otherwise you get that odd “ship deck” like floor. ---

Nice project man! Bathroom looks like it has a good start. Floors will come out awesome when your done. The framing in the room is just to support sheetrock so its not structural so your fine with that. If you need any help sourcing out materials, I can help you out with that. Also if you need to do any plumbing I bought the expensive crimper tool for PEX tubing, and you and borrow it if you need to. PM me if you need any help with anything, my family has been in remodeling for 30+ years, so I could help answer any questions you have. But it looks like you already have a handle on things! keep updating the thread man. ---

deadbeat - we are engaged, thanks for the compliment. JRubino - Nothing is nailed in yet. What sucks is for some reason all the boxes had smaller pieces of wood. Vovchandr - Not sure, I wasn’t there at the time. At lot of stuff that is getting done, I am not doing as I am either at school or work. I help where I can, like the paint, and ripping down and destroying stuff. KrazyKid, thanks for the offer. I didn’t get any pics from today. All that was done was the sheet rock for upstairs. I did find this in the attic though. ![http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/crxgator/picture01.jpg](http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/crxgator/picture01.jpg) ![http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/crxgator/picture02.jpg](http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/crxgator/picture02.jpg) ![http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/crxgator/picture03.jpg](http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/crxgator/picture03.jpg) ![http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/crxgator/picture04.jpg](http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/crxgator/picture04.jpg) ![http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/crxgator/picture05.jpg](http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/crxgator/picture05.jpg) ![http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/crxgator/picture06.jpg](http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/crxgator/picture06.jpg) ![http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/crxgator/picture07.jpg](http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/crxgator/picture07.jpg) ![http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/crxgator/picture00.jpg](http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w261/crxgator/picture00.jpg) ---

solid work! +rep on using real flooring instead of laminate. Hopefully the one bedroom cieling doesnt come back to bite you in the ass. Ive been in the same situations before and everytime it was worth it in the end to tear out all of the older stuff down. ---
