Swiftlock Laminate Flooring installation (Gunstock)

Since it has been 3 years since project Basement Wall Excavation, it is time to finish the basement!

Removed old drywall and blown insulation, hit the walls and floor with a wire brush, etched all surfaces with bleach/water, filled all imperfections with hydraullic cement, hit walls and floor with two coats of Drylock, R13 in the walls, Green board drywall, Black Vapor Barrier underlayment, Premium Underlayment (sandwiched with the black underlayment with 100% Silicone caulk at the corner trouble spots that potentially could see moisture), Swiftlock Laminate (gunstock) on top. Resin Molding, and T- Type Transition piece ripped down the middle made a nice Fireplace molding piece.





Used a 10 Inch Skil Table saw with the stock blade to cut everything including the miter cuts on the molding.

Earth Day 2011!


I was invited to show off the Triumph at Earth Day 2011 at work. I answered a lot of questions, and talked to a lot of people who were excited about electric cars. Due to heavy rain, I towed the Triumph with the Beater-W, but at least I was burning Gas for a good cause :-)
