Hey, where is the browse button here?

No upload feature here SP. Or at least one that I have found yet. There are so many options this board has to offer but it takes a real rocket scientist to figure it out. I had to farm out getting the board set up. I haven't had the time to look into all the features nor how to do it. Instead of linking to FI just use the url image button..I know you can figure that one out.

Ernesto · **Posted:** Thu Sep 30, 2004 11:07 pm

Sean. This did have baseboard but the lady did not want any. I tried to explain but uhh people out here have a funny sense of decorating!

Its the new southwestern look is all I can say.

Thanks for the compliment!

Manufacturer name?

Btw, Sean I know you have oodles of pics on your site--share 'em here.

Check the ways to do so in the subject "Picture Posting"

Yeah Sean, you do some mighty fine work!

The bamboo manufactures name was DM Bamboo. They have since stopped making this engineered T&G float/glue nail long plank product from what I have heard. It either solid or float with a locking mechanism. Hmmmmm I wonder why? :roll:

And no thats not glue residue its saw dust. :wink:

Sawdust! Now what did you do-- cut the stuff inside the house?---OMG :lol:

Sean H. · **Posted:** Fri Oct 01, 2004 8:06 pm

hawa 5/8" solid..undercut the stone firreplace and it turned out really nice..camera makes it seem as if theres more color variationt than there actually was on this job...

while where on the topic of bamboo, installing some forest accents engineered bamboo next week and its random length!!!...never seen this before..I think you may havae posted a questioon about the reason for this before Ken, solid never comes RL..must be a reason.

Sean H. · **Posted:** Fri Oct 01, 2004 8:11 pm

Ernesto, I see you too grab books to hold down your moldings.!
was digging in a customers garage just today for some paint cans. :lol:

Sean H. · **Posted:** Fri Oct 01, 2004 8:28 pm

Oh hell yeah!!!

Ernesto · **Posted:** Fri Oct 01, 2004 8:43 pm

Dang you got a good eye Sean! I could not undercut this tile around the fireplace. It was not high enough.

Now thats a nice lookin floor. Do you sand & finish?

Ken, I think it was just dust collected by be crawlin around on the floor. Heck I didnt even see it till I got home and loaded the pics.

Sean H. · **Posted:** Fri Oct 01, 2004 9:33 pm

thanks Stephen. Dont sand and finish, in the process of learning the ropes though..
