However, the glues today are pretty hard core and would probably be projecs but I would warn you if you are only going to use glue to make sure that those concrete floors are at least clean enough to eat off of! Both you and anyone who wood projects using 1x4 300 your place will most likely appreciate. It adds a rustic touch to your room or wherever you use it. This driftwood holds a lot more than necklaces when put up in a wood projects using 1x4 300. As it turns out I was very right and cutting plywood into strips for a wood floor??

It has shrunk at tad, so where there was no gap when we laid it now there is a very tiny gap between the boards, its a little annoying when we sweep but now it actually looks more original to the house???? Thanks for coming by! I have been planning to do this on my concrete floors.

I have done a lot of research. The floor does have to be clean and free of dips from carpet strips etc. My house is almost sq ft. Whats great Is I can do 1 room at a time. The tutorial I watched was wood Directly on concrete flooring with NO subloor. However, they did a test on the concrete to make sure that the concrete was dry enough for this application. They put a good glue down that was for flooring that would also act as a rubber type barrier.

They snugged the boards together with one another. I guess it would come down to whats more cost effective. Turned a dining room into a bedroom. We plan on knocking out a few walls and will need to re route some hvac. The kitchen is a gut job I plan on doing myself. Even building the cabinets. Can wait to finish. Hey Cristy, yup I have seen them glue wood down straight on concrete floors but moisture is always a concern. It seems like a moisture barrier of some kind would be inexpensive enough and guarantee the wood floors stay nice for many years!

I love the look of plywood for a floor too and I think that would have been even prettier depending on the Woodworking Projects Using Scrap Wood Yes plywood you chose though cost wise I think plywood might be more expensive though that would all just depend on where you get it I guess. I wish you so much good luck on your project!! Hi Dorothy I believe it is possible to glue wood down on to a concrete floor but you must first be sure that the concrete is dry enough or the wood will eventually deteriorate.

I would think if it is a very old concrete floor and if there has never been any flooding you would probably be all right. Dorothy, yes you can put this on a concrete floor but there are some things you need to make sure of.

You will need to make sure your floor is level, meaning no dips or high spots in the concrete. If so get some leveling mix and make the floor level. You should use a vapor barrier of some sort which would mean you will have to make your floor a floating floor. Then you can put it down with a commercial grade glue for flooring. But good luck with that. What colour of stain and what kind of sealant did you use? Good luck on your own project, over a year later and we are still very happy with our floors!

Hey , I have a tip for you that we learned from a person who had put in floors for a leaving. For gaps: he mixes sawdust from the same wood, wood glue and the same stain. I was going to use screws, stain, and poly the top to seal it. Hi Kayla! Yes, screws would definitely hold better and, if you use glue too, those planks would never move.

Have an old farm house, built in with what I affectionately refer to as roller coaster floors. Because of the undulating rises and dips as you walk around the sq ft kitchen. The painted plywood subfloor I walk on now is tragic at best and is beginning to separate a few of its layers now, after who knows how many years of use before hubby and I arrived 5 years ago.

And this could be what I have been looking for. I do wonder if you have any thoughts on how my crazy uneven floor would accommodate this. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Hey Leanne, you could always just go right over top with a lot of glue between the new wood and the uneven floors underneath and a lot of nails your floors would still be unlevel, but it would help a lot.

I would love to see your old home!! There is always the hard core option too which would be to totally rip out the floor down to the joists which you would then sister with new floors joists that are level, then put your new wood over those. The floor is beautiful. I really want to tear out our ugly blue ceramic tile in the kitchen and replace it with wood. Hi Tricia! We sanded this new floor right along with the old hardwoods and then stained and finished them together. There is also a slight color difference which is basically impossible to avoid as the older wood was aged and stained not to mention a different kind.

We have hardwood throughout so it really feels like one just flows to the other. I hope that helps, thanks for coming by! I am remodeling an old house. My concern is how loud is the wood floors. Can you hear everything? We are on pier and beam and I have 2 girls so you know what that means, lots of running and playing. Hey Kasey, well carpet will always be much quieter then anything else you can put down.

I will say our wood floors are still MUCH quieter then say tile on concrete as wood is a much softer surface???? I have seen this on pinterest a million times and keep going back over it.

I have Great Danes and they are rough on the floor. I have craftsman style home and just being divorced I have finally gotten the house to myself. My ex-husband was an ok guy but always took shortcuts on fixing or repairing things.

I have been begging to do the floors for years and now I finally can. I have a couple of main flooring boards on the original floors that need to be replaced first but I want to do this so badly. Thank you for reassuring me that I can and will be able to do this and have the look that I am going for. Hi Beth, oh I hope it works out for you as well as it did for us! Good luck on your project!! Hey they are beautiful,,I am in process of thinking how to put a cheap wood floor down also..

I thought sanded pallet boards.. A contractor did that to ours and it started bulking.. When we laid it we had absolutely no gaps and now we have slight gaps between most of the boards. Thanks for commenting!! Thanks for all the details. Many people who want to install a wood floor look exclusively at oak and other hardwoods, but softwoods such as pine are usually less expensive.

But if you believe that a few dents and dings simply add character to a wood floor, then pine flooring is a great option. Hey Peyton, with concrete you always have to watch and be careful with moisture that might damage the wood. I would glue down a vapor barrier and then glue the wood down on top of that. Your floor is absolutely beautiful!!! I was wondering what brand and color of stain that you used?

I stained all the boards and them dry brushed them with white paint. Should the boards run the length of the room or the width? Also, what did you seal yours with? Any problems with splintering over time? Hi Laure! I chose to run mine like I did so the boards would run the span of the room, figured that would be faster and easier. I finished them with two coats of poly acrylic. No problems with splintering so far but I put mine down unfinished and used a big floor sander over it before staining them.

Hope that helps, good luck! I have begged my husband to do this for a few years now! Your floor is beautiful! Are you still happy with your floor? Any issues that have come up? Hi Connie, its been over 2 years now and we are still happy with our floor???? We are thinking of buying a house trailer we have never done work like this and it will have to have a gut job and redone.

I am very good with remodel and a fab interior decoratetor however my husband will not be able to help a lot have a son who can help , in your opinion do you think I can get this done? I can pay for some help what would be the best to get help with?

Any ideas on how to adhere the wood to a concrete floor? A ton of Liquid nails doesnt seem quite adequate. Then you could lay the wood floor over that using brads and glue. Where did you find wood this inexpensive? I have had no luck here in Indiana getting close to what you did.. Looks awesone btw???? It is also where I purchased the beams for my home. Even though I can no longer work at floor level or run my own power tools this floor is exactly what I have been looking for.

Moving from 2, sq. Doing this in Indiana I have considered heated concrete floor. How would this work? Less shrinking? You may have just made me the happiest old lady to live in a barn. Truly love your sharing Thank you soooo much. Hi Judy, I am so excited about your new home!

I have seen people putting down wood floors now over concrete and what they do is put down a vapor barrier first kinda fabric like thin plastic and then they tack plywood over that right down to the concrete.

And then they lay whatever wood flooring they like over that! Like with any other wood floor that would work great for this wood floor too. Good like on your new adventure! These pictures do look like a million dollars!

Cannot wait to take care of my own flooring installation at home. An even cheaper floor for you: just nail down good air dried lumber from your local sawmill.. Use good old linseed oil!

Cheap as cooking oil and great for your wood. Same as rung oil at the molecular level. We sell kiln dried wide plank lumber. Cheap shipping to your door. We could get you those plain planks too Great site! Down with Foreign job killing floors!! Thanks David!!! Those were some amazing tips, I never considered an oil for my floors, have a great week! I have an old farmhouse and a back porch conversion I want new??? I would have kept it as it was but the step difference between my entry and kitchen was just too much.

I just put the new boards right over the old. Hello, love this project and seems like something I would like to give a go at. My question is since it is pine wood and is soft do you have problems with dents on your floor?

Also I have sub wood floor and would like to put down padding so I??? Have u any suggestions to prevent the gapping between boards other than acclimate the wood? Thank you. If you use a polyurethane instead of a polycrylic it would probably provide a harder and more durable surface. I have a year-old pole barn with really nice smooth concrete floors that are very very dry. Unfortunately they are very very cold and I want to put hardwood on them. Anybody, can I just glue and nail down one by six pine boards and then stain or oil them?

What kind ofNails does a person use to go through 1 inch boards and straight into concrete? But it should work fine! Just questioning why you didn??? Sorry I??? I considered trying to patch them etc. I saved the floors in the rest of the home except here though????

Hi Dara, as long as your initial flooring is well put down you should be able to go right over it with wood! If i were a little younger i would chase you around that farmhouse cause you are a keeper young lady. You keep helping people and it will come back to you in bunches!!! Why waste perfectly good material if you could use it for something cool like these tea light candle holders? First just cut out little circles of the plywood board using a hole saw. Glue the circles together, clamp them and wait for the glue to set.

Afterwards just sand the candle holders and drill a hole where the tea light could sit in. If you have the tools and some scrap plywood, you can give this DIY project a try this weekend. It will literally take just a few hours! Project credit: beyondthepicket-fence. Imagine how you could surprise your spouse in the weekend by bringing breakfast to bed on a serving tray made by you.
