Reno's Studio/Shop Day 2

Today is day 2 of the Studio/Shop renovations 

we have just got back with the flooring 

we decided to go with an inexpensive 

option of ply pine ply sheeting 

just to give it that industrial look..

and as we only have a limited budget 

that fit in with ours 

we have the sealer/varnish and 

all the applicators too 

so we can just keep moving on to the 

next part of the job :) 

 as you can see from the images we are starting to get ready...

we first have to sand the ply to get a nice finish

and to save us some hard work a bit later   

 

Now to start laying down the sheeting 

and I am getting in trouble for playing 

with my phone LOL 

  we have now laid a few sheets 

of the ply down 

as you can see it goes down quick 

it is a bit of a shame to cover up the floor

boards but there are gaps and they 

need to be sealed to make it dust free 

     we are almost done...

 we have screwed down all the sheets

of ply and now I am filling in the holes 

with some wood putty so you can't see 

them :) 

 Ok so now as you can see we have been going 

all day...

we have laid the sheeting and screwed it down 

then filled the screw holes with putty 

and have hand sanded all the boards 

from one end to the other 

now on to sealing/varnishing 

we used a oil based sealer as we have 

going to have people walking on it 

when it is raining they walk in their wet 

shoes...this should offer some extra

protection for the floor :) 

         

   the above pic is the floor with its first 

coast of sealer/varnish looks awesome 

this  is one end of the veranda.... :) 

a look at it a little closer :) 

 I love the look of this 

it has made everything so much more brighter 

and that is only after 1 coat 

now to let it dry for 12 hours before adding the 2nd 

coat :) ....

12 hours later 

the 2nd coat is going on 

we are putting a total of 4 coats 

Now onto the next part of the job

my Large street signs are going up :) 

and sealing in the window parts of the veranda :) 

Happy Quilting ") N
