A woodchuck would chuck two boards, if he were me

Two boards, that's right. Well, there's more to it, but keep that number in mind.

What's this? Some kind of abstract art? No, it's the beginnings of a coat of primer on the floor of the office. We wanted to get a coat of primer on here to help lock down some of the stains and smells.

Pouring paint on the floor is sort of a weird experience. It's just not something you normally do.

Seriously, I've seen less interesting pieces in the Denver Art Museum. Anyone can be a modern artist, all you need is a beret and an attitude.

And there we go! Looks pretty decent. In the future, I think I might do a second coat. This worked well, but I think another strong layer would make me feel better about it.

Starting to roll out the underlayment. We got the uber-premium foamy stuff that's supposed to help deaden noise. It's a bit of a pain to work with, but it should make a big difference in the sound level both upstairs and downstairs.

Working our way across. This was the end of the easy part. After this, we have to go to the closet with the funky wall shape.

There's the funky shape, recreated perfectly in cardboard. We normally don't do a lot of templates, but this wall was pretty much screaming for one.

Look how perfect that is! The template totally wins.

All underlayed in here now. On to the actual wood floors, right?

This little doorway shape is causing us some grief. We have to start here to get into the rest of the room, but we also have to line up with the longer walls. Making this happen is sort of a giant pain in the butt. Note the cardboard for another template.

The template worked beautifully again. Woot!

These two boards are the end result of 10 hours of work. It doesn't look like much, but they are as perfect as we can get them with our understanding of the issues at hand and the tools we have available. We're going to take a short break and then get back to it, but I expect that we'll be able to go much more quickly once every piece doesn't have to be custom designed and cut to fit into a weird spot.

Thanks for reading!
