I am deep into a major home remodel. It started as just update the kitchen cabinets and countertops without changing the design, but then Covid gave me some extra time so I expanded my scope. Johnny R, Steve Hall, Willem and Heath (HHH) helped me think thru the what to do and the how to do it.
Basically I am combining a living room, family room, dining room and kitchen into one large great room. New subfloor, electric, plumbing, HVAC, flooring, millwork, and ceiling including modifying the trusses to allow a cathedral ceiling. Plus virtually all new furniture - only three pieces made the cut.
Months of planning with implementation delayed by Covid. Now full speed ahead. Here is what my main living area look like now
One of my last decisions was the flooring. I had initially planned on 3 1/4" maple, but it just seemed boring. I looked at the reclaimed pine flooring but seemed like it was out of my budget. An internet search kept pointing towards E T Moore up in Richmond. Their website showed some sale pricing that I could work with so I drove up to see the product for myself - glad I did.
E T Moore is a 50 year old manufacturer of flooring, paneling and molding using only reclaimed wood, mostly pine. The facility in Richmond is five acres of wood shop, stored old wood and a great collection of old - see the photos
So they will be supplying my flooring (1500 sq ft). Reclaimed from the floor of a textile factory where they sprayed linseed oil or whale oil on the floor daily to control dust. T&G pine in random widths from 3 to 7". I will finish with Saicos Premium Hardwax oil
I will send more photos of this project as it moves along
