Usually when they rip hardwood floor it comes up in pieces and is not usable. if it is old flooring and it comes off in strips and was not glued down, sometimes it can be reused.

BTW you better have a good reason for ripping up good hardwood! (evil eye! lol) hardwood lover

Its awesome wood, already took it out of the bathroom, came up perfectly. We were going to resand and everything, but with the sanding and stuff he figures i wont be living here while thats being done bad enough in the house with the renos on the bathroom, asthma flares up. the floors squeak really bad, so he wants to start from scratch. He wants to do it thats fine, i am not helping with that..lol
I love hardwood sine I showed him that puzzle floor he really wants that in the living room but dont know where hes coming up with the cash for it, would cost us $2400 to do that.

I buy my honey direct from farmer so Its sooo cheap compared to store, but it depends how much a person uses, I go thru an ice cream pail a year ... $25.00 4 quarts (I don't like overprocessed foods so I prefer to get from farmer)

Question, we are ripping out the hardwood in our house, theres lots and doing something different, all it needs is a good sanding do you guys think i would be able to sell it for anything or is that pointless, just wondering if could make some money off of it..

We're in the same boat. We have some of that antique tin ceiling that needs to be stripped. We want to sell it, and know we can make a killing off of it, but who's gonna strip it?!?

so my plan might work after all..i mean my strike may pay off afterall:

ds came home, LEFT A NOTE, did not call his dad, was not home when dad called. he was out playing in da woods insted of doing homework!

the cat pissed at the foot of the stairs (laminate is same color) and i f'ing slipped in it. no i did not clean it, he'll be home soon, let him, and if he falls then he knows wot i go through every day with that damn old cat now.

Hope your plan is still working!!

Thanks for all the words everyone!!

It would have been easier to sand while it was still down, Home Depot here rents the machines out and you can buy the sanding pads and sealer ... as the floor is up, it can be put down again and redone, would be easier than piece by piece, but then ... how much wood is it? will depend on the WTG Remember stripped wood is raw wood and easily stained or damaged (just keep that in mind as you are relaying it)

I have hardwood floors in 2 rentals plus my mom's house ... dh and I have redone enough floors ... next one we lay is ours!!!! sometime in the next couple of years, cause Im not getting any younger! We had a living room sanded and refinished by "professionals" ... about 3 years ago around $1500 ... problem is finding a professional to do it ...
we did the kitchen floor in one house 2x over the years, my mom's bedroom, and I see her living room and bedroom are due to be redone.

As you want to do puzzle, look at stores that buy up that type of used material, and also our habitant for humanity sell stuff they are not using, look around, if you are doing "puzzle" type floor, you should be able to play with the wood as long as size is constant (thickness and width)

have fun!

are u using both the margarine and the oil?

I buy my honey direct from farmer so Its sooo cheap compared to store, but it depends how much a person uses, I go thru an ice cream pail a year ... $25.00 4 quarts (I don't like overprocessed foods so I prefer to get from farmer)

that's ALOT of honey honey! omg. we might use w $3 small bottles a year..but then if i have mor of it in the house the ds will drink it..

[kekes]

NS - yes you use both the oil and margarine = 1 1/2 - 2 T total fat ...
these are two different types of fat and chemically they work really nice on this loaf

When I bake, I sub honey for sugar where I can and I like it in bread instead of sugar

Hey, I had an X that was an idiot too (almost fiance in my case - long story, but I am very very happy I said bye bye). Must be something in the water.

Sorry, Snake, but you seem to be the exception to the rule. Tell yer wife she's lucky.

I do know one fellow who comes close to being the perfect husband - he's kind, considerate, hard-working, does housework, is very good-looking & ... he's gay. Actually I know a few fellows like that. Sigh.

Did I ever mention the time I was escorted home by 6 very handsome gentlemen? A large group of us had gone out for drinks, & these boys felt the need to escort me home (I was the only sober one, by the way). A carload of girls drove past, & shouted something at me. I think they were jealous. They didn't realize all 7 of us were single & looking for a male companion.

all the perfect men are gay...i learned that doing theatre LOL i get along better with them too

[roseofblack25]

how is the strike going so far NS???

[amycrows]

Anyone know of a place that takes old VCRs? I don't want to send my old clunker to the landfill. Business Depot used to, but they changed their policy. Not looking for $, just want to see if anyone can use the metal bits inside.

I have given my old VCR's to hospitals along with my old tapes. Especially for the kids ward, they always want something new for the kids in there.

Amy - what a great idea!

A husband and wife were sitting watching a TV program about psychology when he turned to his wife and said, 'Honey, I bet you can't tell me something that will make me happy and sad at the same time.'

She said, 'You have the biggest penis of all your friends.'
