- Thankyou, Mr Darcy.
Not only a nice chap, but also not bad at nailing down floorboards as well. 😉
Seriously, a fantastic looking job, and thanks for the added value and advice. Thoroughly recommended.

Pics (of the silver fox and the floor) or it didn’t happen…Well, it’s too late for the former as he’s off back home. Pics:
I must add the photo’s don’t do the detail or the effort any justice, and excuse the unmatched stuff – still work in progress.

Posted 6 years agorichc, will drop you a line when I’m back in Brizzle.
No worries, I guessed you were busy 🙂
Posted 6 years agoposh laminate or proper wooden floorboards?
Posted 6 years agoThat looks nice, will be great when you get the fitted carpets down, bare floors are so cold and noisy.
Posted 6 years agoIs that beading on the sides?
(Interested in wood flooring)
Lady g – a gentleman would lay his coat down for you 😉
Posted 6 years ago@ alpin – 21mm engineered Oak.
@ captain slow – yes. The skirting is original and would have made a mess of the plaster to remove as its nailed and screwed on (we’ve just had it skimmed) so we chose a white scotia to compliment the Victorian “shapes” at the top of the skirting.
Perhaps not perfection in flooring terms, but it’s turned out ok. We’ll be painting it and the skirting together to give it the complete “is one” look.

Heh.
Posted 6 years agoHe did the floor in Selfridges in Manchester, don’t you know?
Did you find yourself swooning, and making him lots of cups of tea, while giggling and playing with your hair?

Posted 6 years agoNone of the above. We did go out to dinner together though, ya know, table for two and all that. But he left me at the hotel door :-/

Posted 6 years agoThat stair carpet is a disgrace 😡
Bet you haven’t weeded your garden either.
Nice floor though…

That stair carpet is a disgraceQuite right, tis why it’s being replaced – it’s was the same throughout where the flooring is now. Look at the bottom step and you’ll see even the cat doesn’t like it 🙂
Posted 6 years agoBack in Brizzle safe and sound. Thanks for the post Kryton. Hope the kids enjoy the floor. If you can’t flog those boxes, D can always have it in his room. 🙂
Posted 6 years agoGood to hear DD. I have already had to explain why you aren’t here to KJ01 this morning….
Posted 6 years agoThat looks very nice. 🙂 Well done Mr D!

I don’t normally like beading but that looks pretty darn good. Gives me something to consider but it’d be a new build so not having the fancy skirting of a victorian house.
Posted 6 years agoDid he offer any special “extras”?
Posted 6 years agoNone of the above. We did go out to dinner together though, ya know, table for two and all that. But he left me at the hotel door :-/
I went for dinner with him too. He told me I was the only one. 🙁
Posted 6 years agoHe did the floor in Selfridges in Manchester, don’t you know?
Did he supply the wood for them or just fit it?
