I googled the location of the home and use their scale to approximately measure the roof line of the house and it appeared to be 40 by 50. From the 2D viewpoint it appeared to be a ranch style design.
Well arriving on the site, nope it's a log home.
I met the new owners there and proceeded to start measuring. They planned to do the large room and possibly the kitchen in cortec and the bedroom on the left hand side of the drawing is the bedroom which will probably have carpeting measure for it.
There's also a 22 ft x 38 ft loft area upstairs..... up them funky stairs.
The homeowner was thinking they needed to put cortec in the loft area also. From the ceiling downstairs I could tell that the upstairs is tongue and groove 2x4 or 2x6 material and would need to be covered with half inch plywood if they decided to go that route so the upstairs may remain carpet, who knows.
Anyway I used my laser to measure the downstairs and this is the drawing I came up with. The living room dining room and kitchen are All one large open area. I'm not going to be installing any material on this job it's way way too big for me. After the carpets removed and it's determined that the floor can be made flat enough for cortec, I'm curious how you would start this job mainly because of the fireplace.
Would it be best to start this job like I have shown in my sketch, by starting on the left by the tile entryway? By the time you got to the fireplace, you could fit each plank and tap them under the stone..... It probably needs to be undercut because I can't begin to imagine fitting something tight enough against such an irregular surface.
The second option would be starting on the long outside wall, upper right of the drawing.
The fireplace is about 8 and 1/2 ft both directions. Since the cortex ideally installs, left to right, in this scenario, you would have to fit the fireplace first and sort of work backwards until you got eight and a half feet out from the wall.
A penny for your thoughts.... Maybe a ruble I haven't checked the conversion rate lately.
