| I Teach installation of borders |
I Teach do it yourselfers to install borders in wood floors. The picture above is an example of work that was done with a homeowner's help. The job is located in Columbus, MT on top of a mountain. When I went to start this job, my first thought was, "No one would possibly build a house way up here!!" It was almost like going up a mountain logging road. Sure enough when I came to a clearing at the top of the mountain there was a brick house. In case you don't know brick houses aren't very common in Montana especially on mountaintops. As I started to first look at the job some other things started to seem unusual too. First off there were no power lines to the house. As I found out later this house was run entirely with a generator and batteries. The generator charged the four huge batteries and the converter converted the DC from the batteries to 110 AC. This made it so the generator only ran when the batteries need charging which surprisingly wasn't all that often. As my customer proudly showed off his unique electrical supply system he also pointed out that that the generator ran on natural gas and he happened to have a natural gas line running thru his property which supplied the small town in the valey below with natural gas. The gas company tapped the main line so he had natural gas for his generator and for heating. As if this wasn't impressive enough he also showed me his water system. He had no water where he build his house. There was water on his land. It just happened to be a mile away. He had a trench dug six feet deep from the well to his house. Once a week he would go to the well, start up the generator and pump the well dry and fill up his cistern at the house. It was a pretty neat system. He was totally self sufficent. The floor has a diagonal field with four boards of oak as a border with a nine inch skirt around the border. After the floor is installed and sanded I take blue masking tape and tape the 1st and 4th board of the border and stain the boards in place. The adjoining rooms are laid normally and just meet the border. I teach customers how do unique floors like this and if you would like to install borders in your house please send me an email at Franklyn@WoodFloorist.com
