cranky

the very last piece will have to be cut to fit, and there it is, done!!!!! after this dries, usually next day, i pull up the four frame pieces, and sand the floor until smooth. i start with 100 grit, then 150, and usually finish with 220. how much sanding depends on the wood, and how smooth you want it. i use a palm sander for this step. now, here is a trick i learned, while you are sanding, and the sanding dust accumulates on the floor, work that dust into any gaps between boards. once it is sanded to where you want is, wipe it off, don't blow it off, because you want the dust to remain in the gaps,. and stain it. all that's left to do is install it. just spread a thin layer of wood glue over the plywood, and set the floor in place. force it down by rubbing it with your fingers, or use some kind of roller (a piece of doweling works here) last i use a place a piece of plywood about the size of the floor, on the floor, and put weight on it. finished!!!!!! enjoy!!!!!!
