That's what happens when you're remodeling, furnishing, and outfitting a giant house. It cost me the same amount as the purchase price of my house to do all that stuff, and it took a long time. Putting felt pads on us something that will get done. It's not like the average person moving into a new 1500 sqft house and buying a few pieces of furniture from IKEA. Outfitting houses this size takes about a dozen people months to complete, and hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars just to outfit and furnish, not including the remodel. It's a lot of work and a lot of stuff to do that most people can't imagine. I had to hire a person to fill time deal with JUST furniture. Not ANY of the other stuff to outfit the house like white goods, linens, electronics, art, motors, safes, etc.

It depends on the floor. For hardwood floors, they're interlocked, nailed and glued down. Also they often aren't all the same size.

@Jamie Vatarga yeah if he has multi size boards, that would make it harder, but there are other boards the same size in the kit. There are only a certain number of different sizes.

Even though there were multiple witnesses to the attack she took it upon herself to scream (literally scream) at me when I came back to work after my "recovery" from the surgery that she thought I was faking it. I had just gotten the many staples removed from my abdomen, and was still wearing a compression wrap that was clearly visible under my shirt, and *very* nearly pulled up my shirt to show her how real it was. Thankfully, she was replaced at the end of that year. So, yeah, I wholeheartedly agree with you. It's *not* helpful.

[@capti443]

POSSIBLE EASY(ish) REPAIR: Without having seen the actual damage and inferring the floor is made of strips of wood (typical long piece pattern), my first thought would be to have a good trim carpenter (or you if you have good woodworking skills) carefully cut out a layer of the damaged flooring using a router with appropriate bit & straight edges/jigs, trimming the edges with chisels and replace it with a layer of good wood from flooring scraps or extra pieces. If the floor is 3/4" thick tongue-and groove wood, I'd remove probably 3/8" to (a) avoid the edge nails typically used in installation, (b) retain 2/3 of the tongue-and groove configuration on the edges, and (c) give a thick-enough repair piece that will retain dimensions & not warp/twist. Fit up the replacement piece by resawing the spare flooring piece(s) on a bandsaw or rip on a tablesaw to an approximate thickness, then plane it to the exact thickness you need fit up flush & level with the rest of the floor. Finally, fit the replacement pieces in the routed-out sections. If the flooring is prefinished, that's all the better! Getting to this point would take about 2 hours depending on the extent of damage. Glue the replacement pieces in place with something like Titebond III (waterproof & longer working time), place weight on top to keep it all flat, & allow to dry overnight. If prefinished - you're done. If not, then stain & finish like the rest of the floor. Hope this helps!

[@totally_not_a_bot]

For hardwood flooring, you can replace individual boards. Cut out the old one, put a new one in. For tongue-and-groove, you cut the groove so you can set it on top. This is common work.

[@Mindpron]

You can jig out the damaged pieces if it is solid wood flooring If it is engineered wood (fancy plywood) you will have to lift a good chunk of the floor to get the damaged pieces out then re-lay the flooring. Depending on where in the room the damage occurred that could be a LOT of work. Engineered wood is great, but it is a pain in the ass to repair.

My first job out of college was for a small family run company. There were 7 of us, 5 were family. Family was: Mom & Dad - owners, two sisters Vice Presidents, and the husband of one of the sisters was my manager. I was there for maybe 2 weeks and my manager got called in to the owners office (Dad who is his father in law). I listened as I heard the owner/dad screaming and berating him for a good 30 mins. He finally comes back into our area and was wiping tears out of his eyes. I said to him "What the fuck was that man? I'll tell you right now that I will never tolerate anyone yelling at me like that. I don't even let my own father talk/yell at me like that". Word must have spread because they never did no matter how bad I messed something up, but they did yell at each other and any other worker that worked there the many years I was there. They told one young lady they hired to work the front desk on her first day"You are not special. A monkey could do your job". She went to lunch and just didn't return. I'm so glad I don't work there anymore. Very toxic place.

i heard of a similar situation at my previous full time job regarding an business partnership - where the 3pl (company at the time ) was so hard to work with. they would send us a report every week for restocks and when we did not get to them on time he would call to complain and act like he was the best 3pl company ever and that we would lose sales etc. however whenever he was talking to my boss he was like an angel. our boss knew clearly about his two-faced behaviour. when the guy that was dealing w them left, the new person took over and they never gave her any respect. after about 6 months during the first covid lockdown, he called and complained to her about something and in the end made her cry. after that she convinced by boss to ditch them as a shipping partner and we did the dispatching ourselves and saved about 30k a year. at the time as well once a month our other manager would go visit them to check on the operations and he would also tell me that they were a family fun business and that the dad - their ceo was a madman basically just yelling at every one and running the place like a tyrant. becos of the dads toxic behaviour it also has been copied into his wife and his daughter. its scary knowing how some families think they can just run everything they way they want to and use people that way....

LINUS PLEASE READ: I have managed to make big improvements to wood floor damage like this by using a very hot clothes iron through a wet towel over the mark. The damage in the CSF video seems to be mostly COMPRESSION damage rather than actual torn out wood fiber. The idea is that you let a bit of hot water/steam soak into the wood grain which causes it to swell up and returns toward its original state (then stays there when dry). I am not saying this will make the marks invisible... but I had a similar mark from moving a bed on my (softwood) floor and hot iron through a wet towel took it from 'oh fuck that looks awful' to 'ok, it's an obvious mark but it's not THAT bad anymore'

I slipped and one of the corner dropped and caused some chips. The buyer was livid. If you want to a professional service, hire a professional. Between moving unreasonably heavy items with no equipment or sufficient staff, I was expected to sort through donations that were nasty, dusty and very likely, dangerous to my health.

I raced in and asked what he done and he said "Oh the drive must be broken" he then took the disk and put it in another drive with an equal screech. He destroyed two $100K drives and the disk and 6 months worth of data because hadn't backed up the live data he was using first. And more recently a client called me after he discovered his computer wouldn't boot and rather than call me first decided that he needed to restore windows 10, thereby overwriting 12 months worth of work email he also hadn't backed up, on top of which he stopped the windows install because he thought it was taking to long , the data was unrecoverable.

Yelling all the time is immature. Yelling for only the rarest of moments isn't. It is a sign that what is being done goes beyond the normal scolding punishments. Which is why Yelling all the time at a child soon loses it's meaning. Whereas if you have a stern calm mother who never raised her voice at you suddenly yell at you angrily, it means you truly messed up.

one thing i will note on this is yelling in general is a tool if you use it to often people will get used to it it will "Wear out" and loose all sense of severity the less you use it the more effective it will be when you do because such an event will be taken much more seriously in a "oh my god he never yells something must really be up i better pay close attention" and this is true in any relationship weather its work or not

Hope they didn't go with the sanding fix. I've done hardwood flooring before, and when we got called in to repair deep damage like that, we'd basically replace the whole board when there was a matching spare - given that the flooring was so new, I'd be surprised if either the client or flooring company wouldn't have some spares to hand. Sure, you might have to sand off the poly/stain and redress it all, which is messy, but it's the kind of repair that can be done in a half-to-full day of work, without needing to drop the level and repaint the walls.

I used to work as an IT Manager for an Automotive giant and we had just finished mounting all the very expensive hardware in our server safes(production servers, storages, core switches, etc). At one point I had to leave the server room for some emergency. At one point my phone started ringing and people were complaining that nothing works anymore. When I got to the server room, I found out that one of my subordinates decided to close the server safe doors without powering on the AC units. The result was that the heat reached the point where it triggered the overtemp protection and shut down the power to all the equipment inside the server safes. Unfortunately, I remember that a few ssd's broke(very expensive, enterprise grade, ssd's...) Luckily not too many were broken and we managed to repair the raid. That was the time I truly felt what rage is.

Extra hardwood planks. Cut around scratched planks. Lift out. Glue or nail new boards in, setting nails below finished surface and touch up holes. Not sure why this required sanding everything down??

[@robster7787]

As someone who’s job it is to refurnish floor boards, I can kinda understand the frustrations. Personally I would just outright cut out the boards, plane a new one to the same thickness, sand it smooth and stain for color match. Good but less expensive than sanding down the whole floor. Still gotta agree though, it’s an unnecessary repair that could have been avoided

[@JamieVatarga]

It looks like it's wide engineered prefinished boards, which may be more of an issue, depending on how warped they are.

I'm honestly trying to imagine any damage to a wood floor that would cost thousands of dollars to put right. I really need to see a picture, because at the moment, I'm imagining a hole through the floor, the ceiling below and an OLED TV. As Weston Ney below in the comments says, a good joiner would put it right.

[@_s_9920]

He's very wealthy now and probably spent stupid money on a hardwood floor with a ton of joinery made of alternating expensive hard woods - total luxury item beyond any reasonable cost. For a deep gash he'll have to have the entire floor sanded down, re-stained, sealed and varnished before polishing it back up. Depending on the depth of the damage it could be a huge drop in floor height and may require underfloor reinforcing and skirting boards to be refitted/remade which then adds wall repainting and finishing costs etc. This is why fancy old manor houses are totally unrepairable - fixing one expensive thing means that countless other expensive things have also to be fixed.

[@xa1x1ax]

First he isn't referencing an exact price for his viewers so he is probably speaking Canadian dollars Wich is less impressive than thousands USD. Then they didn't only damage the floor they damage the railing his stairs some camera equipment. And the floor if it's real tick hard wood floors (most likely his since he his rich) probably cost in the thousands to replace if he can't repair and like he said the groove is to depth for that.

[@Corristo89]

Sorry Linus, but you turned your house into a set and let people work there who are anything but trained electricians, carpenters, movers, plumbers and so on. You kind of have to expect things to go wrong eventually. You had your employees renovate the entire office building because it was A. cheaper and B. you could turn it into content. That may compensate the damages caused and turn a profit, but if inefficiency and controlled chaos is the goal over actually getting things done professionally, then a big crash which will hit LTT hard is looming somewhere over the horizon. Edit: Looks like that big crash finally hit when it came to light that LTT has abysmal quality control standards regarding their content (i.e. not bothering to remove protective tape from a mouse and dumping on it for not working properly) and handling of equipment lent to them for testing (i.e. the Billet Labs cooler that was auctioned off without consent from Billet Labs) as well as how it treats its employees (i.e. Madison Suop).

[@AshenTechDotCom]

honest tip, if you just want to fix the gouge/gouges, and its more about making it level then look perfect, the fix we have used, crystal casting material, clear the hole with a dremel or similar leave some grooving/roughness too the hole(makes the stuff stay bettrer, then fill the gouges with crystal casting and leave it overnight, sand even with floor, then apply a couple layers of the same stuff they use on school gym floors, its VERY hard to scratch threw, and yes you can safely apply it to pre-finished real wood and fake wood floors in my exp... ;)

You had a terrible flooring company if their only advice or option was to sand the whole floor. If it ever happens again you can cut individual boards out and replace them and spot sand and then coat the raw wood only twice, sanding just the boards that were raw, then scuff the whole floor and recoat the entire floor and it disappears.

Here he just walked out on me... - *The third time, I replied:* _"I'm not here to listen to your unprofessional and disrespectful temper tantrum, come back to me when we can discuss the issue in a professional manner."_ I then walked out on him, whilst he just stoot their not knowing what to do, with a room full of other colleagues.
