Re: [DIY] Changing floors

You lost me at female has nothing to do with it;
I did learn to use a gas chain saw last weekend- sweet.
And, it is crochet.
That is how I relax- after a day of using tools, I sit back & create with knitting, or crocheting, or needlepoint.
Love to see what the creativity brings.

I'm pretty rusty, but I knit & croquet (sp?) & did needlepoint. Still bake.
Desire is all. Female has nothing to do with it. Some tools can be a
tad heavy... esp after a few hours. There's a whole construction team
in the UK that's female. Topless, to boot. Ok. Female has something
to do with it. LOL! SoMEtimes... LOL!

Skill is like Thermos. A word now in public domain, like coverall & overalls.
So a skill saw is really, correctly, a circular saw. Often called a Skil-Saw.

There are some SERIOUS safety hazards to these if you don't know
how to use them!!! DO learn these... first! Do it wrong and the spinning
blade jumps back into a major leg vein or your gut. Done right, these
are quite safe. Mainly, you start them and allow 3/4 sec for them to
reach speed before touching the wood. Stand slightly to one side of
the rear of them. TRY not to operate them from a side angle... but
from the rear... unless it is a must and you are close to the saw. No side
cuts that are arm's length away. Maybe there's a safety U-toob vid on this?

So, what about the floor. Which way you wanna go?
3/4" in one room translates to a threshold issue, transitioning into the next.
Talk to us... before you get a ton of 3/4 delivered...!
There's a lil more to it. Nothing hard, but details. Lil stuff, not to miss.
Can add a pic in the photos section also. I recall, it is very unlevel.
Is this a few board? Or a lot of it? Keeping? Or selling?
1st floor? Over a basement? Or what?
