Restoring 100 Year Old Floorboards. Is it WORTH IT?
Before I started sanding I thought these floors were original to the 90 year old house, after I started sanding it became quite obvious that it wasnt original to the house. But "restoring Perhaps 35-50 year old boards" is just not as clickable! I hope you like it, please subscribe

    I know you are a pro and an expert, but I would not have paid 50% down. No way. Maybe that's normal in the UK. But in the US, that is a red flag that the contractor might already have the intention of doing part or none of the job and running off with the money.

    My question is--for all the folks who were renting tools at home depot/ other-- why are those places renting out finishing sanders along with low grit paper? And why are those low grits even available for those sanders if that is wrong usage????? ?????????????????????????

    Hey, who doesn't want to avoid beginner errors? Thank you for the info. The others that were trying to present the errors as the right way (or the quick way, or the cheap way) will just have to get over the sting of being exposed for being wrong!

    I know that a picture is worth a thousand words, but this video could still use a few words shown on the screen, such as 1-What are you doing? (and a short why, if appropriate) 2-What tool are you using? And 3-What grit sandpaper are you using, and when? After all, if you were doing in person training with a new employee of yours, you would be telling them this stuff, right? So tell us.

    As a DIYer who just restored his own 150 year old floorboards last weekend after trying to learn as much as possible from your videos, I want to share some of my experiences. 1. Against your advice we thought that we could get away with just using a rotary sander and edge sander since pine wood is quite soft. I guess we were afraid of using a belt sander and messing it up. We quickly realized our mistake, listened to the pros and rented a belt sander. Even if your floorboards are only very slightly cupped, it takes forever to get them level with anything else and any dents will not come. Just be careful and stay focussed. 2. Take enough time to check if there is movement in your floorboards and nail them down if necessary. There were a couple of planks that I missed that moved ever so slightly, which meant that we initially missed some of the deeper scratches of the coarse grits when trying to sand them out, because the board dipped down ever so slightly. 3. Take a bright light and go over your floors after you move up a grit. You will be able to easily spot if you left some deep scratches or if you managed to get them all out. 4. When it came time to finish the floor with a roller, we had some issues with dirt coming up from the gaps between the floorboards, even though we vacuumed very thoroughly. This caused some bits to get stuck into the finishing oil, which we then had to scuff sand out between coats. Probably worth it to spend some extra time poking away at the gaps to loosen dirt and then vacuum it all up. 5. The whole process took way longer than expected, but we are oh so very pleased we the result. All of the common pitfalls were avoided thanks to your videos! At least as far as I can tell ;)

      Wow, if you’d have bought my video course and shot me an email I could have saved you a ton of time and money(one days rental for 1 machine is more than the cost of my course 😂) I couldn’t think of a floor less apt for starting with a rotary sander than a 150 year old pine floor 😂 it takes a ton of work even with 36 on a drum sander. However, a lot of the time someone will email with a question, I’ll give them my advice and they will not take my advice and then exactly what I said was going to happen happens. I’m not saying that to moan, it happens 75% of the time, I don’t know how to be more convincing! I’m glad it worked out in the end, floors that old look great when they’re done

    I can't remember if anyone has asked you, for those really hardend oak floors do you ever give them a good wetting after the initial sanding to lift and open the grain to let the sanders get a good go...

    I feel your pain mate. I have been there and done the exact same thing. Even in a similar shaped room. It sucks. I have just started watching stuff up videos tonight. I have gone down a rabbit hole of disaster flooring videos. I have watched a few of yours now. You do good work and know your stuff. One bit of advice and i hate giving it because we all do it differently. Look after your body. Pull the machine apart. Get a lift don't carry it on your own. 25 years in the trade my back is cooked from carrying machines on my own. And we still have to work with a cooked back.

    I dont understand why people sand straight 1st cut. U can easily do 15 degrees with 36 and then go straight with 80 and u will remove all sand marks. Plus u will straighten the boards and not cut so deep into the grain, thus less wave and chatter mark on floors after u finish

    Any time you don't follow your normal business procedures it will always screw you over. I know from experience!

Bad customers are attracted to poor business procedures.

    Love your videos! I only needed to watch one to realize you knew what you were talking about. Question... for a very old historic home do you think it's possible to make the floors look too perfect? I'm concerned that the floors could look almost new when the rest of the rooms are imperfect because they are so old. Not sure if I'm explaining that well.
