Doing the Happy Dance

I've been doing a lot of measuring, cutting, dry fitting, gluing and I'm actually pleased with the results. It has taken a lot of time but it was worth the slow methodical process. My mom always said that "mistakes [in any project] lets the devil out." Let there be no doubt in anyone's mind...the devil has a LOT of escape routes...lol I have tried to hide them the best I can - she's pretty square but the planks weren't always the flattest or most square so I had to do some creative carpentry to make it come out looking the way I wanted.
Floor over half way done.
Floor completely glued in!!! Doing the happy dance. This is how it looked before the paste wax was applied.
Ends all trimmed and paste wax applied and buffed. The wax filled in a few gaps and gave it a richer tone and nicer shine. Between this picture and the one above you can really see the difference the wax makes.
