You might also need: Additional floor molding. When you take up the carpet there might be a space between the floor and the molding. We used quarter round shoe molding which matched the rest of our house. NOTES: You don't need a big caulk gun - just use the regular kind or you will wear out your hands. Make sure you use an oil based polyurethene made specifically for flooring. The oil based poly brings out the color of the wood and the grain and makes the plywood look "warmer". It's almost like putting on a mild stain. There are lots of other choices you could make on the plywood. The thing you want to do is make sure it is hardwood and "cabinet grade". We chose the cheapest that fit the criteria but you could spend a bit more and get oak, birch, etc.) It does not need to be thick (we used 5MM). I will say the plywood we got (http://tinyurl.com/77r6rzs ) looked as good as the birch and was much cheaper.

Step 6: Doorways
The gap where the doorway is between the rooms is tricky. The floors between the rooms may not be level or made out of the same material and the gap will probably not be square. Lay down strips of plywood to build up the gap in the doorway. Once it is relatively level you can put a "cap" strip that bridges the two floors. The most important thing I can say here is that you will need to improvise. It took me a while to get these to my liking and I ripped up my work and started from scratch on one of them.

Image Notes 1. Note: the bridge is not square. That's because the house is not square.

Jan 1, 2012. 5:11 AM REPLY I always replace the molding after I've finished the floor. I find it a lot easier to touch up the paint on the molding, than to apply the floor finish right up to the edge, cleanly. Dec 31, 2011. 10:18 PM REPLY That looks great ! A friend did kind of the same thing in his studio but he cut the plywood into 2x2' squares, rotating the panels as they went down to change the grain direction, no nails, he just glued and weighted each panel down. It's a great floor to walk on and because it was so inexpensive he doesn't worry as much about getting paint or other materials on it. Thank you for sharing your project

Jan 1, 2012. 12:49 AM REPLY Glad you liked it. I thought about doing just what your friend did but I was worried that my poor cuts on the circular saw would make for problems at the seams.
