Plywood farm plank floor

Submitted by ooupla2 on Sun, 04/06/2014 - 10:20

I was inspired by Ana to DIY and save a lot of money. I bought $17 plywood which was the cheap stuff. Lots of knots and rough. I sanded the plywood and cut it into 8 inch planks. I rounded the edges and stained it one time. I nailed it directly to the subfloor and used liquid nails as a second bonding agent. After the floor was nailed in I re stained it and applied 9 coats of flooring poly. It turned out so good im doing the entire 1400 sq feet upstairs of my home! I plan on making many of Ana's furniture projects to fill the rooms once its all complete!

Estimated Cost
$1.25 sq foot
Estimated Time Investment
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used
Varathane diamond floor finish. semi gloss applied with Varathane Water Borne Applicator, reapply after 2 hours
Recommended Skill Level
