Walnut Flooring has other uses
Making the most of left overs is just as important in the workshop as it is in the kitchen. I had overestimated the amount of hardwood laminated engineered flooring (plywood sub-base) by 3 cases.

Oh deer…
Another hot day comes to an end. Well over 30 C all day with clear skies and we were outdoors finishing up paint trim on windows, cleared out some wild growth bamboo-like trees/grass and cut down a few overgrown evergreen bushes. I know I’m bushed!
