The main room is getting close to completion and it looks great. This room is the entire ground floor of the original Techbuilt house plus half of the second floor (which we opened up by removing two bedrooms).
We particularly love the 8" wide plank “character grade” oak floors in the main room. We went with the extra wide planks so that much of the character of the wood would show.
Some great knots and wormholes!
Interestingly, character grade is less expensive than the prime of select grades of wood flooring, which is an added bonus since we prefer character grade.
Character grade generally refers to prominent color variations and a large amount of characters such as knots, open checks, and wormholes.
The metal beams that were installed to reinforce the structure of the Techbuilt part of the house after the two bedrooms were removed have been painted glossy black and they are AMAZING!
