" You've removed a lot of Bob this salvaged flooring material from a former bedroom that's now been turned in the kitchen that's correct -- any tricks on how you take it up. Well Barbara they have small flat product we use that cause the preferred tool yeah and we miniature flat bar that's correct and we -- battle in the war. The same direction with nail them and it just comes up pretty easily always in the same direction that it's nailed in that's correct. OK that will. Help prevent cracking and that happens when the boards but it sure it's okay it's hard wood but still it's been down for 3035 years gone -- Although seasonal changes in temperature so that it's somewhat dried up as long as you're prying it carefully you can be assured that you're going to be able to reuse it right. Doubt you've separated it into piles over here I noticed what is the story OK Bob in this -- here we have boards that have. Both the male and the female grooves at both ends yeah this has a tongue at an end. And groove at the other end and an in tact tongue along one whole side. As well as an intact groove along the other side so this is a prime piece right that's correct eaten the -- a pile we have. That is cut on one side. OK so this means this was piece that had been butted up against the wall up against the baseboard right and that's where you see a bat back cut on it and yet. And so these are pieces that guard second grade. That's correct and this is another one with the opposite and coverup okay. Yeah the back cut is on the opposite ends -- it's really like a jigsaw puzzle in the sense that's right. You get different pieces it to get a different to fit in different locations with and you have already run it into what is now the new front hall of the house."

" Any considerations on whether you use all the good ones at once and then go to the bad ones -- what -- Bob one of the reasons why we divided up into three groups. We don't want to use all the good ones right away you want to use the cut ones. Up against the walls. Otherwise when you get done halfway through -- you you just left with a bunch of damage pieces it now Leo does this make economic sense I mean isn't it awfully labor intensive to be doing -- it's labor intensive bright. When you consider that the rest move forward have to be ripped up and when you consider the cost of -- new floor which is about five bucks a foot that's correct. This is much much more economical okay we'll show us how you're nailing them in -- you're using one of these traditional. Machines. This is the up to standard floor machine. It opens up and up next. And you put -- a clip of nails and they're really cut nails that cut -- on them all glued together but the machine will. You just look just like I just like a staple gun. -- We always use a scrap piece -- block yeah and then you -- corner. They're very good rap they have nice tight fit down there."

" And then use another block at that end."

" Now how far it. Apart would use. Space the staples. Normally we nail them about twelve inches apart. Then we. Billy give an extra nail at the ends close to the end Bostonians. So that when the joints are together that they were which. So it is a nice clean job of inserting that staple right at the correct point just above. The time and at an angle. You -- like that yeah let me ask another question about squeaking. Lot of people complain about you know noisy floor what do you do to prevent that crowbar before we lay the floor down we go over the sub flooring -- There we make sure that the floors have -- mailed. So that you've so that there are no squeaks in the sub floor checked every old board that's right and -- and we -- from this resin paper well it acts as an insulator between your subfloor and you and your top foreign cushions everything it cushions everything right in okay Leo you you go right ahead you're doing -- the old fashioned --"

" Over here we've got Bob Ryley who is going to be using a different technology and you've got a different set of problems but you're going to be shooting. Shooting these in with the compressor back there that's right and this nail gun and accuses these two inch staples -- actually -- shooting staples out right. Well it's amazing that these -- would be able to penetrate that hard wood it does and if that I really -- kind of given have to take -- out of how this holds better than the -- and the others now Ryley explain the problem that you've encountered here well what we're doing here is we're changing the direction of flowers lay it right so we have piece where the grooves are butting into one. Right -- the of the floor has all been laid in one direction now when we're adding wood to that we end up with a situation we have two grooves butted up against one another. And that doesn't work is you can't nail through -- groove you have to always nail through a time I always there. Yes but you do that well just simulated tables I'd cut a spline --"

" We're found a piece of scrap it will be using to make us find that when going to do this it too passive on the table saw first we'll cut it -- vertically. And then move kind of -- horizontally to a three eight's of an inch where it."

" All right so that just gets fitted right into the groove -- you have to -- glue on no we definitely know any glove that was float in there why not. Well to put glue in there it's this that had a chance to perhaps split are you -- to be able to move absorb moisture and in this trial right. So that's. You had visited a little bit more. This other piece of rather -- and that you got your block right there and it's always great to have a block handy -- ever want to nail with a hammer directly onto a groove of any of the flooring material that's thing you want to take a scrap and use it. I'll be able to drive. Spline or the next piece and it into place. We have happened precut. Let me -- Race when so it back and forth and it that they yeah. That's -- everytime we -- to -- an elaborate lengths already set up right and it Clinton's this thing loaded with it at all. A couple of the yeah. Please there. -- to experience -- it all right. --"
