The hardwood floors we put in our last home are up to $8 a square foot thanks to inflation. Yikes! 😬 But good news!! If you are willing to put in a little extra work and do it yourself, you can get 3/4 inch real hardwood oak flooring from @LL Flooring for a little over $2 a square foot! It's called utility oak or cabin grade oak. It's unfinished and has some imperfections. You will need to fill in any imperfections/knots with epoxy and then sand and stain after install. If you are willing to get your hands dirty and do some extra work, you can save thousands with this DIY trick!

[@rebeccaramirez-]

excellent job!! Mr Jamie

[@rosehughes599]

For floors made from offcuts headed for the trash , they look amazing! All those "imperfections" add character

[@conniesisco6468]

I am super impressed with the amount, and quality, of the work you put into those floors. When you first explained what type of wood you were going to be using I was a little sceptical, but the results have blown me away. Super unique and absolutely gorgeous.

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Wow, thank you! We appreciate the kind words! 😊

[@chelsbabyyyy]

JAMIE!! Oh my word, those floors are MAGICAL✨✨ your hard work is seriously paying off. So in love with how open it is. Can’t wait to keep following along! Sarah-I love your eye for design🤩 I want to take you house hunting with us😂

[@marianitas_]

Sealing the knots with the resin made a HUGE difference, the floors look AMAZING!

[@margaretlee-reed814]

What a WONDERFUL IDEA for meals. She's not busy trying to do both ... and he's not buying take out all the time. What a healthy/time saving alternative. SMART. This reminds me of my husband and I doing all the demos and work we were capable of doing. We'd poop out about 10:00pm ... and nothing open ... minus fast food & gas station food. And, it was difficult to break around 6:00pm for an hour to go out to a restaurant ... being all sweaty. Those types of food services would have been great.

[@heyhope326]

Just love how you guys never tear each other down, can't wait for more videos!

[@jelewis43]

I put in solid wood floors in our new home 30+ years ago. The job has changed very little. But ours were pre-finished so no sanding. You did a wonderful job. Congrats!

[@kellynelson2103]

I love the house updates - especially Jamie’s quick tips and tricks. Glad you both got a well deserved break for the 4th.

[@cheyennehomesley7821]

The floors look so good! The junk to treasure would be fun and motivating to watch

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks Cheyenne! 😊

[@alicep3286]

A lot of work, Jamie and Sarah. One day, you will be snuggling on your sofa thinking of all the hard work, but so worth it. So much good advise and what worked and what you needed to revisit. Like you have said, don't be afraid to fail. I enjoy your videos with Ruby and Roxie.

[@lindseynicholls4625]

The floors look sensational! So much hard work but so, so worth it. Well done guys! Also love the eco element of turning other people’s waste into something so gorgeous.

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks a ton!! 😊

[@krickette5569]

Jamie, those floors are sensational! Great job!

[@valmccloskey9613]

Well done your house has been transformed in the perfect family home by all your hard work, you must be proud of yourselves. May you have many happy years there with your girls.

[@emilieshoquist302]

Holy crap!!! I thought I married an industrious guy, but Jamie puts him to shame! Incredible job! You both are incredible!

[@monicadregely1596]

Those floors are gorgeous! I love that you showed people that you HAVE to epoxy the knots. I’m pretty sure you showed people that you taped the underside too when you installed. This house and the work you do is incredible. Well done.

[@TheAbbyTwirls]

Floors look great! Love the natural look, especially next to your fireplace. Any video idea you guys come up with is great! Thanks for taking us along on your house projects!

[@daniels1293]

As floor professional this is the only diy video I've seen that has phenomenal results. It's not easy work but it's very rewarding. I am surprised you guys found white oak so cheap, even for a character grade. I know a guy who mills prefinish flooring and he sells his character grade at 12 dollars a sqft.

[@crystalkirkland781]

The floors look awesome! We are in the middle of a whole house diy (mostly) Reno too and as burned out as I sometimes feel, (8 months in) I am loving watching you guys tackle your house. We are nearing the end of the big stuff. We went 2.5 months without a kitchen so I feel ya!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

You can do it!💯💪

[@shapeofsoup]

Jamie, the floors are amazing. Well done, sir.

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thank you Mike!! 😃

[@MeHere650]

Oh my word, such great floors. Jamie you are such a hard worker. Yes, to the next video on selling your stuff!

[@katrinagascho6165]

Beautiful , it looks soooo good! We put hardwood floors throughout our previously carpeted and linolum from the 1950s home and I LOVE how it holds up. Yes it gets wear and tear from family life, but eventually we will sand it all down again and get a "new" floor again. Looks so good!

[@meganarzbaecher3185]

Such good work, the floors look amazing! Well worth all the time amd effort!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks so much!

[@lonathompson1440]

Amazing job! It looks beautiful. Congratulations on all your hard work.

[@JamieCormier]

The floors look amazing! Great work Jamie!

[@creativemn139]

I really enjoy watching how talented you both are with your house flips

[@valerierichards6648]

I LOVE that you two found this home! Also, I wasn't initially sold on that flooring, but it looks amazing!!!! Good vision. Can't wait to see you guys finish this over the next year or so. Good luck!

[@mitzicherry7544]

You home is beautiful. Your hard work on the floors sure have the most beautiful results.

[@christinestephenson1742]

I absolutely LOVE the floors! There's nowhere you could get hardwood floors as cheaply as you did! Great job!

[@Renee1207]

The floors look amazing!! It's so incredible and inspiring all the work you two have done. I love watching the process. I can't wait to see the final reveal! :)

[@cynthiaraimondi4767]

You both work so hard! It’s looking great, love this Series!!

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks a ton Cynthia!! 🥰

[@kathiacastaneda8373]

Wow, it's been so fun following along since you all first got the house. It's all coming together so beautifully! The floors look great!

[@darylhunt9070]

congrats your mother is a champion. Nice work on floors I have done a house it is the hardest work

[@stacyheerema9922]

The floors look amazing!! Hard work but it paid off! Good work Jamie!

[@kimfrommn7162]

The floor is very impressive!!!! Great Job with all you have done so far!!!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼

[@nutriivory]

What a transformation already! BRAVO 👏🏼 I cannot wait to see how the rest of the house continues to develop :)

[@taydesoto]

Wow!!! The house is looking great! The floors are beautiful and I love how you opened up the space! You're hard work is definitely paying off.

[@diieold]

The floors like great! Well done!! The upcoming kitchen work is very exciting 👀

[@pcsd3104]

Jamie you rocked the floors! They look so good.

[@irinadelong4284]

Amazing job, Jamie!! You, guys, are so awesome! Your house is looking better and better every video. You inspire me (and I am sure many other people) to transform my house and yard into something special. Thank you both. I can’t wait for the next video. 😀

[@bobwadsworth4799]

I wish I had just 1/2 the energy you two have. (Well, I am older, so...) But you two are doing a great job!!!!

[@CoriNagy]

The floors look AMAZING JAMIE!!!!!

[@valencafiero]

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thanks so much!!

[@chlobelle1]

Yes those floors look AMAZING

[@nadjagonzalez1832]

Love how beautiful the floors turned out. Jamie you’ve done an amazing job!!!!

[@deidrecalabro5725]

Are you putting a power room in the utility area? It shouldn't be too crazy the plumbing is there and be nice for people v housing the pool 😁

[@JKerr-iy2jr]

Lucky Jaime is so handy! The floors look great.

[@Soulja_Boy]

Guys, that house is coming along so nice! I look forward to every single video you guys do. It's such an inspiration and the way you guys work together on camera is just so inspiring to me. The education you guys are giving is such a cool thing. Hope these videos never stop but I know yall are looking forward to getting done with the house. God speed. Jamie, have you ever heard of Salonpas patches? They are a godsend after long days bending that back. Maybe give them a try!

[@kathysultzbaugh3858]

The floors look great! Your hard work paid off!

[@lifelivedfrugally]

Jamie did an incredible job. Your floors look awesome.

[@danajean908]

The floors look Great ! amazing job ! And i think you guys should do the junk to treasure video ! I love watching all the flipping you guys do.

[@jewdd1989]

They turned out stunning! I love you kept with the natural beauty of the wood and didn’t stain! I hate staining natural wood, poly is probably the best finish for durability reasons but have you thought about an oil that’d be easier to refinish for later?! I ordered Osmo Polyx in Raw which has a very subtle tint of white (virtually invisible) that is supposed to keep the raw color of the wood but protects like an oil does and is easy to add on more later or sand damages out, etc. and it keeps the natural feel of the grain. I’m building a solid hickory vanity for my bathroom reno and love the color hickory has with the depth and striations so I tested out this Osmo Polyx in Raw and it’s stunning! You can’t see the depth of color and character until the oil is applied and it’s incredible and is now the only finish I want to use from now on however I can’t speak to durability yet as I haven’t applied it to the finished vanity which I’m still working on. What I do love is I’m supposed to be able to add more on down the road or easily sand and add without obvious lines for problem areas or water damage, etc. but I doubt it has the same kind of durability that a plastic coat of polyurethane provides. That’d definitely be a tough call poly or oil on your hardwood floors! Either way the depth of character in your flooring is a dream and worth the countless hrs of back pain

[@rzpotts4]

The floors are amazing.

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

Thank you!!

[@heyhope326]

Definitely do a trash to treasure video!!

Will you move the door opening of the laundry room from the dining to the sunroom?

[@lynnestockwell1241]

You guys have great vision & energy!

[@aydansaa]

Great job Jaime👏🏻👏🏻 you two are so inspiring 💕

[@justjudycrafting7401]

Jamie, you really did an amazing job on the floors.

[@robtowen]

Hey kids nice video showing tons of progress. Sarah's description of the new kitchen sounds a lot like the kitchen from y'alls last home but with more space to work with. 2:34 WHOA! is that the entrance to the dungeon to Sarah's left?

[@IshikawaLuv]

Loving the progress 🤩

[@shapeofsoup]

Wow you guys are doing awesome! I just closed a week and a half ago and I still feel like I’m running in circles 😂

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

You got this!💯

[@KhiavDim]

It looks beautiful! Wish I had the stamina to do what you do.

[@amywitkowski8141]

Floor looks wonderful!!

[@handaferguson]

Great Job!!! The flooring loos amazing!!! Thank You... :-)

[@dot2dal]

Amazing floors- truly stunning!

[@chuckmorrison7085]

Great job on the floors Jamie 👍👍👍😉🇨🇦🤠

[@amcluesent]

Open plan might mean cooking smells go right through the house.

[@ericaeschenbacher4921]

Well done! Floors look amazing 😻

[@justsandi2504]

You two are amazing!!!! I love everything you do.

[@jennybean268]

Wow! The progress looks INCREDIBLE! 👏👏 Are you concerned that the dining room will be far from the kitchen? I guess if it's mostly used for holidays it probably doesn't matter, but I was curious 😊

[@cocoli6035]

Such a good job you guys! Looking stunning

[@Courtz843]

You guys should turn this into a how-to channel

[@LifeAccordingToRachy]

It looks absolutely amazing!! Wow!

[@Angelicalalalovesyou]

[@indiabilly]

You do work really hard but it looks amazing and yes please to trash into treasure xx

[@philfreels1845]

[@JAMIEANDSARAH]

So far so good! 😁

[@ThereseDavidson]

Great job Jamie!!!!

[@GringoLoco1]

It's BEAUTIFUL 😍

[@heidibarlow6687]

Jamie you rock!

[@spazmat123]

Great job 👏🏻

[@jaykadlec]

Embrace the utility! Could tell you felt the need to justify adding the space to the mud room 😂 Bigger space is so much better with kids and all their stuff! Everything is coming together great! That’s a ton of progress in 3 months!

[@LifeByGabe]

Doing an awesome job!

[@CassieDavis613]

The flooring done that way would have cost you a fortune if it was hired out. The floors are beautiful.

[@databass9545]

Without the cost of the actual flooring, how much did you spend on this project?

[@mustang9533]

YOU GUYS SAID YOU WOULDNT CHANGE IT
