Day 28 - The wood floor goes in

This floor is a masterpiece!  Maestro LaBonté (with the on-and-off help of his apprentices KTS and Sean) has

1. planed and leveled it
2. reinforced it by adding new stringers every 2-3 feet
3. installed a 3/4" plywood subfloor
4. put down aluminum sheeting all over for heat distribution
5. overseen the installation of the p-flex tubing for the infloor heat
6. cut and nailed this incredible new subfloor of plywood cut to fit around the tubes...

It's a work of art, truly.  Today the new floor is being installed.  Birch!  It will run perpendicular to the joists and the piping.  The tubing has 60 pounds of pressure so it will be well apparent if a nail goes astray.  We are holding our breath....
