Today, I worked from home to keep an eye on the crew who were installing
the new flooring in WP668, our backyard caboose. Wei, the craftsman
from
Armstrong Carpet & Linoleum, did an admirable job. I am so entirely
glad I did not listen to the people who said that
linoleum is easy to install yourself. I do not have the experience,
skill, or patience Wei does. For nine hours, he used very precise simple
and specialized tools, made templates, and took great trouble to get the
measurements on 390 square feet of floor correct to within 1/8″ inch. Our
new floor is alligned, flat, and perfectly fitted.
See
yesterday’s blog for WP668 history and photos of the subfloor going in.
Here are pictures from today:
