Hickory flooring is a very hard material and is also hard to install!
First Steven needed to move the very large radiator. We cannot install flooring underneath the legs as it would then be too high for the water connections. We will lay flooring around the feet.
Hickory flooring is a very dense hard material. To install the first two rows, Steven had to drill holes for the nails and they were still difficult to pound through to the rafters. I had marked the position of all the rafters with a black marker and installed underlayment on top of that.
The wall was not straight with the lines of the underflooring so we needed to make adjustments in the first row. We got two rows almost finished before Steven didn’t have enough strength to sink the last row of nails.
The next rows will be installed with a pneumatic nailer which will make it much easier.
