Larsen Poultry Ranch - homesteading journey

Next stage, install underlayment. We went with the higher end thicker bamboo stuff.

You may have noticed the closet wasn't primed. That will get done after the floor is done. Hubby is not allowed to be in charge of painting anymore.

Precision cuts.

I didn't want to cut the door trim but it wouldn't fit with it in the way. I solved the problem by having hubby hold the trim out of the way so I could slide the piece into place. He will reattach the trim when we install the baseboard. I feel pretty proud of this piece as I cut it myself and didn't ruin the piece or injure myself. Usually I make hubby do the weird puzzle piece cuts. We are using a table saw, oscillating multi tool, and a miter saw.

It's possible we might finish today. But, have to figure out if the saw on the back porch is too loud to run after 8-9.

Good work! Looks great, doesn't it feel good getting things checked off?

I hope the neighbors don't hate me. I kept going. I have two blisters somehow, but the floor is done as of 10:20pm. According to my photo timestamps, I started laying the planks after 5, since that is the time showing I finished the underlayment. There's less leftover cuts than the last room so I think I improved. This room had better dimensions.

You are doing a great job! I did the floors here in our house with no idea of what I was doing, so I know the challenges you face. You are doing fantastic, it looks beautiful!

Sage had her bunnies!! I count at least 6?! I didn't take them out as I didn't want to freak her out. Looks like chestnuts/castors, with possibility of opals (top right corner?). Some might have normal fur, some should be Rex fur.

Nice work. How close are the neighbors?

Nice work. How close are the neighbors?

There are neighbors on 3 sides. The one to the north is a good distance away, the one to the east is closer, and there's almost nothing between our houses to block sound/view. I really want to plant a hedge, but there's an easement for the water on that side so not sure if the roots would be an issue. The neighbor to the south is ridiculously close, as both their and our house was built what I think is too close to the property line. The houses aren't within the setback zones but I bet they are right on the outside edge of them.
