Hardwood/Tile Issue when remodeling. HELP

[Brian9955]

@nick I removed all of the nails as requested by the floor refinishers. I was just a little concerned that the wood filler wouldn't disguise the holes.

@highup I have this and it really hasn't worked too well...

Nope, way too big. You need a small one because you're doing surgery. That one is for disposing of the body.
Ya need a 4 inch wide hand held scraper that uses disposable razor sharp blades like the Crain one.

What kind of nails are we talking about ? Cleats , or staples ..

If they are any good they will trial the complete floor to fill in any holes , gaps in the side , and end joints..

They look like roofing nails...

In a Hardwood Floor ? I seen it all now . You have to pull them .

Lol. Yes, we've removed all of the nails. The holes are small, however there are a lot.

I cannot imagine why they put roofing nails in the floor.

 

[Nick]

Not a Problem , the sanding will fill them ..

That's what fastened the expanded metal to the floor for the mud.

Forgot they had a wet bed ..

Here''s an update. Doing just enough to remove most of the tar and will scrape off the rest. Took a couple hours cause I'm being very patient and am getting comfortable.

Looks good .. The drum sander will get that ..

Thanks. I'm really enjoying this diy project. Love it at times and hate it at times, lol. I've never been the handy type, but definitely like the way it's going and can see myself doing more projects.

 

[Nick]

YW. When i can see myself doing more projects i take a nap till it goes away..

How much would that entire effort have cost a pro to do in NJ Nick? He's saved himself some big bucks.

 

[Nick]

He sure did Hi.. I would probably charge him around $150.00 a Hr ..

 

[Brian9955]

Progress...I'll finish the rest tomorrow. The floor guy said he can take care of spotted mastic/tar. Cannot wait till these floors are sanded and refinished!

 

[highup]

You've come a long way Brian. Looks great.
