Random wide board pine floors for my ICF house

[@KentDiego]

Very nice, Can't wait to see the floor once you finish polying it.

[@HughesEarthworks]

I really like the look of it Dan. Well done.

[@g-man7938]

Nice wide planks, plus the lost art of pine flooring all in one video, be careful you'll blow a lot of minds lol.

[@danwheeler5130]

lol

[@g-man7938]

I bet the workstation smells heavenly lol. Love the smell of that pine. Looks great, you do nice work.

[@danwheeler5130]

the whole house smells nice

[@thomasburnett4712]

It’s really inspiring to see a master craftsman work through each problem artfully and create an outstanding result! I look forward to seeing each video that you and your son Jesse create!

[@danwheeler5130]

thanks for your kind words

[@realRainz]

randomness of the board sizes is what makes it look awesome

[@danwheeler5130]

thanks i agree i have seen them all the same size and its not the same

[@dennisbailey4296]

That looks absolutely amazing. I do not know how you are surviving on your knees for so long and it must be pretty hard on the body!!! As a mechanic I have been on my knees alot too!! All the Best from Surrey BC Canada. And a Great and Wonderful time of Celebration of our Lord and King!!

[@DanRasar]

WOW!! My hats off to you man! You just don't get to see much of this kind of craftsmanship anymore! I'll be watching from no on.

[@PeterLee-zn3jl]

Wood..wood..WOOD ..! Your house is nice..! ..very much the old fashioned hand made look...careful , in floor heat can warp stuff..

[@danwheeler5130]

yes but it will be low temp

[@Billestlà]

I love the floor. The wide pine boards with rows of varying widths is so unique and so beautiful. Thanks for the great tip on tightening up the butt joints. I will use that for sure.

[@danwheeler5130]

thanks

[@Steve.5]

Merry Christmas Dan! I’m 70 years old and you’ve been an inspiration to me! Thank you and Mrs W🎄

[@mmanut]

Installing random width pine boards is extremely time consuming and difficult. BEAUTIFUL JOB‼️My old knees are killing me just watching. You milled and installed the boards, VERY VERY IMPRESSIVE‼️‼️ Perfect size house‼️👍 Vinny 🇺🇸

[@moose8u2]

Outstanding! I like that it isn't those cookie cutter floors, it shows character and craftmanship.

[@danwheeler5130]

thanks

[@dougstewart6288]

I love the craftsmanship in this floor. I know how much work this takes and you did it all without knee pads. I grew up in a 1830's farmhouse in Vermont with floors just like this. The floors were painted, I assume that was easier to keep up over the years than a stain finish. I am also in awe of the mitered corners on all the wall surfaces. Looking forward to seeing how you finish it all.

[@danwheeler5130]

thanks but i have knee pads built into my pants lol

[@russellbiard1833]

Never saw that done before. It looks great!!!!

[@danwheeler5130]

I like the mixed (random width) boards, mostly because it does not look anything like you can buy in a box store.

[@danwheeler5130]

[@danwheeler5130]

[@russlachapelle1579]

I have done many of these especially in basements with urethane glue. The use of random boards when calculated correctly can make the last boards installed much easier to finish near walls. The use of pine in this day and age sure is less costly than oak. As for the look, it is basically up to the individual. One thing about this type of work no matter what the species is, it sure is time consuming.

[@danwheeler5130]

for me i milled the pine at almost no cost and yes it takes awhile

[@how_to_hallagon1]

Another great video Dan. Looking forward to the epoxy fills and sanding.

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

Dan the floors look beautiful. I Love the wide boards!! You can tell that you Both have worked hard on this house with all the personal touchs and professional craftsmanship of all the wood work in this home. Love the homemade saw guides that you made for cutting the floor boards. I was not aware that you could use raidant heat for under a wood flooring, always thought that the heat would warp the wood..

[@danwheeler5130]

thanks donna you can and it will make it shrink some but that will add to the old look

[@frankh.valenzuelaabuelotej652]

I am totally amazed and happy for you. I wouldn't change a thing in your minds eye, in terms of the preference and outcome of your home design. Like the song says, "It's your 'thing,' do what you wanna do..." I believe its by the Isley Brothers. Peace.

Hi Dan. You have done a beautiful job again, and as usual. I absolutely love the wide board flooring and I am sure once you get the floor sanded and coated/sealed, it is going to be a knock-out!

[@brianelliot2719]

Thanks Dan! Appreciate your techniques on fitting boards. I’ve done flooring in a few houses and it can be tricky. Perhaps a follow up video on dealing with moisture content, out of square rooms, carpenter techniques on trim would be of interest to people. I personally like quarter sawn oak better than pine after seeing furniture from the 1920’s-1930’s for less pronounced grain and also for its harder surface but each to their own. You may start a renewed interest in pine flooring and walls. 😊

[@tylerbarrett6652]

I love the wide plank flooring. I wonder, with all that exposed wood grain - does it ever feel like it's too much? I love the look, but I might consider making the floor another shade or two darker and then putting the poly on it... just to break up that overwhelming feeling. IDK... there's enough difference from board to board in color/grain that it might not look/feel the way I want it to if I made the floor just a bit darker. Of course, you guys do what appeals to you... but you did ask us for our thoughts.

whew! I'm tired from just watching. I like the wide board look a lot. If that was Oak, would it have flexed enough to get them tight?

maybe not oak is pretty strong

[@MrFilipT]

It looks good and expensive. I'm curious how will survive after 1 year, after 5 year and after 10. I installed some similar type on my parents house in one room but not very happy with how wood shrink and expand during seasons . Also was a soft one, so easy scratch.

[@douglasthompson2740]

How are you going to keep today's wood (fast growing large spaced rings) from checking and warping in such wide widths? It would be a task with quarter sawn old growth fir of past centuries. A large part of the reason most flooring even a century ago is of narrow width.

[@twolfe4295]

Where the wide boards butt end to end couldnt you bevel the ends in order to help tighten up the joint?

[@nautilusshell940]

I wouldve made the butt joints not be in front of the door. Id also measure and mark the screw holes with a template for a more uniform look.

[@danwheeler5130]

screw holes will be filled

[@nautilusshell940]

Also fill the knot holes with wood plugs, not just epoxy
