Getting the floors nailed down.

After spending a couple of hours practicing with my new power tools, building a couple of simple items, another trip to Lowe’s and learning how to use the nailers we rented, the flooring installation finally got started.
It took us about 6 hours to get 2/3s of the office done, but now that we’ve got our technique down I expect that we’ll be able to finish off the room and the hallway today, and maybe even get started on the red room.
Nailing in the 3/8″ wood flooring is turning out to be a little more difficult than expected. Hit the nailer too hard, and the nail ends up going too deep and cracking the tongue. This ends up making it harder to put the next row in because you end up having to hammer it in. Just makes the job a little more time consuming. It’s too bad we couldn’t do the 3/4″ wood. Probably would go a little faster with the thicker planks. Still looks good though. I figure we should be able to get it all finished by the middle of the week.
