floors are beautiful 💕 love the whole project

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thanks 😊

[@geraldkoth654]

If you want some nice seams in those boards. Save the sanding dust from the machine and mix it with shellac. Fill the cracks with that mixture and when it dries sand over it. Dad and I always did that with Oak Flooring. And we always used nothing but Bruce paste wax as a finish. With todays modern floor machines that is a breeze. We had to do the burnishing with me on a thick blanket and dad swinging me around the floors. The wax finish prevents staining and is extremely easy to keep up. Use some mineral spirits with the Bruce wax and it cleans and resoaks all the pores in the wood. The Bruce wax is non slip too.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Oh I wish I would have done that!! Great idea!!

[@lynnemac1402]

Bless you Michael lol. You are so clever the house looks amazing, you have worked so hard I cant believe how much you have done already xx

Its gorgeous😉

[@cabinlifeatedensprings1710]

It’s a beautiful place. Reminds me of our homestead. We have not made a video in a while. We lost five family members this past year. Just had so much happen. And it’s not just lately it since we bought the homestead 6 yrs ago. But we are coming back stronger. Hopefully. And soon. Things are very different. My husband retired and went back to school to be a home inspector. So no more 70 hour weeks as an electrician. But after nearly 30 yrs as one I think he will be a very good inspector. You have done a really nice job on your cabin. We bought this little units off wish. But it ships in the US. They are small solar light units. They have three lights a radio and a phone charger. They might work great in your home. They are around $50. We have one in our cabin. And we use them in our barns. Love your place! Leslye

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thank you 😊

[@Strangernightg]

Hello Mike, I'm Mike too. Today is 7-15-20 and I'd like to say that the house 🏠 is looking magnificently outstanding!!! Today I just started following your channel and I've already seen 4 videos in 2 hours and I'm gonna continue seeing seeing them until I catch up to the finishing on making your house. I love it!! Stay safe, stay strong and bless you and your family 👪!!!

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thanks Mike!!!

[@sukochilee4770]

Thanks 😊

[@andyteohockguan7243]

Awesome

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thanks 😊

[@brandieleah9305]

I haven't received a notification in a few months from your channel. I just realized that today and went to check up on everything. You have gotten so much done on the house! I can't believe it! Last time I watched, you had just chosen a place to build. You've done such a wonderful job! Praying that things continue to go well for the build! Keep up the great work!

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thank you! Just hit the bell 🔔 icon to receive notifications on our new videos.

[@brandieleah9305]

@@LoftisPartyofSix I've actually done that but after a while, I notice that I stop receiving notifications from channels. I need to remember to click the bell more often so I continue to receive them!

[@AndiBrewer2021]

Put the umbrella in the back of your shirt lol.

[@mtd8805]

you are doing well bravo🙂👍

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thanks 😊

[@michelledouglas6538]

Looking good! Time to invest in a raincoat! LOL!!!

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

😆👍

[@wakeupamerica2971]

I was skeptical about this much barn wood on the inside, but that's beautiful! Just found your channel. Sub'd ✅ FYI, that floor stapler/nailer should have an adjustment on it to increase the depth it shoots so the staple doesn't stick up. I know, too late, but for future ref. Hope it helps. Thanks for great content!

[@Chillaxing113]

You do such an excellent job with your videos. Great camera work, narration, editing and always interesting. Thank you for sharing you and your family's adventures. I hope you were able to manage that umbrella and the 4-wheeler okay and didn't get too wet. Another adventure for you I'm sure. 😂

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thanks 😊

[@macmcdonald9347]

Ditto on the blessing.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thanks

[@rosecato7755]

Have to laugh...wondered how long you were going to hold that umbrella with your chin😂🤣. Anyways, I like the interest that the floor has. Looking forward to how it looks when you sand it. It’s going to be great!

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thank you 😊

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

It's coming along so fast dude

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thanks 😊

[@christoffer1973]

You could pore clear epoxy on top of the floorboards

[@CaleyDimmockYouTube]

Great video! Do you have another video that shows the sanding? If not, which type of floor sander did you end up going with? I’m currently doing a barn wood floor and also need to level it out and make it smooth. Thanks!

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Actually I didn’t sand it all flat. I did some light sanding so no stubbed toes , but If I had sanding completely flat it would have removed the old saw marks. It makes it harder to clean for sure but have no regrets leaving it as is.

[@ripsagoly]

What kind of sander did you use to even out the wood

[@lpssugar2235]

Very good video did you remove the nails from the reclaim lumber before installing the floors

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Yes I did

[@sammoore6835]

Hi great looking floor , why did you plane one side of the boards and how would that be useful to the laying of the floor ?

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

We didn’t plane either side.. only cut the sides to make sure we had the same width boards on each row.. boards ranged from 4-10” wide.

[@REB65]

😄👍👍 God bless ✌️

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thanks 😊

[@explaincauseidontgetit3294]

I’m living on painted sub floors. It’s not the greatest but it is a money saver.

[@chrystalspencer4697]

You need a poncho!

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Agreed 😉

[@jacobchristian637]

Hello. Really enjoy your videos. Been searching KZbin for ideas and tips on reclaim flooring. Currently milking white oak from 1860’s barn on our farm. I’m torn between glue and top nailing. Or just too nailing. I intend to cover the whole floor with a filler and sanding to make it smooth and to fill all the old nails holes. Curious how this floor has held up in the cabin. Has your top nailing method been sufficient? Has the floor held tight? Any suggestions? Thanks! Cheers!!!

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

the floor has done great

[@jolenecreech7648]

I was gonna suggest you put the camera down!!! 😂. You are so funny! Looking good!

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thanks 😊

[@buzzward812]

I’ve got a $20 bill that says Laine make you redo those stairs about the second time one of the kids comes down head first. Or one of your Airbnb guests. ❤️

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Sure hope that don’t happen

[@TotemoGaijin]

Ya had me until you mentioned paint, lol.

[@dper1112]

I was wondering about the noise through the floor. You have the barn boards on the ceiling, and then OSB, and then paint. If the kids move at all during the night, it seems like that noise will transmit right downstairs. Have you considered that, or whether some kind of sound insulation layer would be doable? (Not trying to criticize, love what you're doing, and am curious about the considerations towards noise.)

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

We aren’t concerned about that but thanks

[@angelakirchner4811]

Looks look. Just a small point to consider gaps in floor allow dirt/dust in them. Pain to clean 🧽. Life lessons

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Vacuum the gaps.. it’s worth it

[@anthonyfranklin7137]

I might have missed it in an earlier video, but where did you source the barnwood? In areas that don't have actual barns and old structures being torn down.... wood like this almost doesn't exist. Some areas seem flush with it, despite the popular demand now.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

We had an old barn on the family farm that we took down and salvaged the wood.

[@bobcrispycritterrv2706]

I hope Jerry does the sanding. Those machines require experience.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

😆 gee thanks

[@sweatervestfest918]

Try to rent a Hummel not one of them 4 pad setups from Lowe's or Home depot.

[@jamesw6484]

Are you gonna smooth it out of splinters?

[@rcarey3965]

What kind of wood is the barnwood?

[@rcarey3965]

Hardwood or do you plan on several coats of polyurethane to strengthen it?

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Oak wood and yes will put a sealer on it

[@tamianderson7514]

I miss seeing Laine and the kids in all the videos

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Yes I understand.. unfortunately they couldn’t be at the cabin much with the daily activities like homeschool and Laines work.

[@stevesyphax]

Your house is going to look like the house my wife grew up in. She even had an out house. Nothing like going out to the out house at three o clock in the morning in the winter. Your place is going to be a little to quaint for me.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

No outhouse here

[@johnhelton457]

I've heard good feedback about the Woodglut plans.
