How To Install Barn Board Floors YOURSELF | DIY

[@AlexKatWoodworking]

I'll be doing another floor with barn board in the spring but, with a more modern look to it. I'm super excited to apply everything I learned from this project to that one! Stay tuned

Love those ragged old barn board floors

That my grandpa made!

Come over and do my floors! Great video showing how to add character to a room by repurposing wood with a finish imparted by nature.

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks

Love, love, love! This is the exact thing I'm looking for our house. We bought a fixer upper a few years ago and this is the type of floor I've envisioned for our house. Thanks for the inspiration!

Although a few years ago - i was wondering if you considered using a flexible adhesive?

i am making a floor for bunkhouse in forest. I am working with wood from a dismantled house built in 1710. It has been such a challenge with only cordless hand tools, different thickness, nothing square or even. quite a puzzle. your video is a great help to me. especially the finish! I am using (new) screws and the original nails from the house.

But can you clean the floor? I want to try it but I see that as a downfall

[@michellemayhew4144]

I love that!

I have a walkout basement. The previous owners put an adhesive under plywood and then tap conned them into the concrete. I have been working on reclaimed wood from an old log cabin. My question is, what is under your plywood? Is it concrete? If so is that why you put down sheathing?

How's if holding up? Just curious about boards 'popping up' etc. Thanks!

[@AlexKatWoodworking]

Really good!! Some creaks here and there so I could probably put in a few nails but other than that it looks great and no boards popping up

[@kobeisbose]

@@AlexKatWoodworking I think normally people glue it and then nail it which cuts down on the creaks

[@ryanjenkins2470]

Have you had any spills? if so my concern would be the spilling seeping into the cracks, thus mold, and odor? I love the floor, I want to make something like this myself. just going through the thought processes. Anything noteworthy? Thanks and great job!

[@AlexKatWoodworking]

Hi Ryan, pretty similar to any other older hardwood floors, there are cracks. We haven't had any major spills and the finish has been amazing! No areas of concern yet. Maybe not the best option if you have young kids though

[@TotemoGaijin]

You could always fill the cracks with a little diy sawdust and glue wood filler? You'd have plenty of sawdust on hand that's for sure.

[@TotemoGaijin]

Is there a reason you use such little nails instead of something a bit bigger or screws?
