Bobby's tank build.

HAHAHA just getting the room ready first. So in my dinning room I put laminet down alittle over a year ago and it came more and more apparent to me that I disliked laminet floors so me and my wife went out and got 3/4 oak floors and I'm putting that in now. Once it is in I have a master plan for a awsome tank build that will put any build I have done before to shame.....I hope. Well this is were I'm at now with some pics and maybe an explanation to come soon.

Ok heres what the floor looked like to start with and a pic of the sample of the new flooring next to the old.

Re: Bobby's tank build.

pretty good luck with vaccums on wood floors ? haha looks good Bobby i cant wait to see what is up your sleeve. hopefully its not too close to that door. my 180 unfortunately only had room to go right by our sliding back door. i have the curtains inside and bamboo binds on the outside on the deck blocking light. also it faces the East its a evergoing battle, but its not too bad yet.

Re: Bobby's tank build.

Keep us posted Bobby! I'm surprised how many people start off their tank builds by getting new floors.
