Phil purchased the product off my ebay sight and did the install. This job was well planned and nicely done.
Kudos Phil!

The Ditra Phil purchased was bought at the lowest price on the net.
From my observation it looks properly installed.Ditra is very easy to work with. Follow the directions included in your package and you cannot go wrong.

Thank you, Phil.

Wood floor repair:
My next project is this board replacement: The appliance guys had scratched the floor severely with the foot of the stove as they moved it.I was called to fix the damage these were the steps we took The floor was 6"wide glue down engineerd plank by BR111. We will soon be carrying this product in our product cart.

The first step was to mark and cut out the board with a skilsaw. Pics 1-2

I then use a variety of tools including a pry bar to dig the damaged piece out. If you notice I cut far enough from the edge of the surrounding floor so when I pry against the cut edge I will take chances of damaging good wood. I normally will cut about 1 inch from all my edges.

Glue application will come after all the old wood has been removed and the area clean of any sawdust or wood shavings.

Resetting the boards will require the bottom of the groove on your final piece be removed.

A good cleaning with some mineral spirts....

How does it look to you?

Here are the customer comments:
The inlay looks great and was exactly what I needed to define my dining area. The wood is beautiful and blends well with the rest of my decor. You were most helpful in getting the sample and then getting the wood installed in a reasonable matter of time. The installer did a very efficient job installing it. I was happy to have someone who knew what they were doing. Thank you for being so deligient and getting things done so quickly. As well as going the extra to get me samples from Osh Kosh.
God Bless and have a properous day!
Shari
