Today I put in the subfloor for the loft in the master suite. Although the original structure had a full 2nd floor the flooring is a replica of what was there originally, right down to the band saw marks on the wood planks. The planks measure between 12 and 14" in width and 1/2" in thickness. I put approximately 1" space between them and started with a ripped piece 6" in width so that when I apply the wide board flooring in the same 12-14" width their seems won't overlap. Tomorrow I will work on the flooring unless Glenn shows up and then we will work on the chimney.
