When I do finish carpentry I actually make marks with utility knife.....its just a finer reference point to cut too, and can cut 1/16s or 1/32s a bit easier than pencil line..... Think I would have just ripped out existing flooring all way to Wall where you started first piece and laid new pieces all way to doorway....it is more wood to buy but goes pretty fast and every piece is has tongue and groove.....I know patching is time consuming especially when you don't have an open end......

Awesome video. I really appreciate seeing the whole process and the techniques you used to pry. What size nails are you toe nailing? 16G? Also, do you have any tips for how to pull up boards without damaging them from a closet to use in another more visible area to replace damaged boards?

We used 15G nails for the toe nailing. And to salvage boards we used a circular saw to cut out one row of boards. That row is ruined but then you are able to use a long, flat, crow bar to pry under the next row and just slowly work them out by prying up bit by bit across the entire boards. It took us a few boards before we got the hang of it and was able to remove the boards without breaking them.

Those but joints all close together, and right on the ends of the boards is not good, even if glued and stable, it looks bad.

How would you recommend replacing a wood floor slat without having one edge with a butt joint? 😆

@@RaptorRenovation , You have the right idea, but you need to stagger the but joints. The issue here is that they are too close to each other, and they should always have 6 inches of overlap. Usually, if there is less than 6'' ,or if the replacement piece ends up within 6'' you would cut out the next board in. I don't think you should have any issues, but if someone laid a new floor like that, most likely, some of the joints would fail. Good job otherwise. You got lucky, often times room 1 does not line up with room 2, and one room has to be completely removed, and re-aligned with the other.

Where do you get the hardwood to repair the floor? Is this typically sold at lumber yards or places like Lowes?

We got the lumber from Menards, but most stores well it.

There are so many warehouses that sell used building materials. for example, I live in baltimore and red oak is so cheap to buy in bundles from these places
