Time-Lapse Construction of Mudroom
I started work on the mudroom in the summer of 2004 because, after putting a nice new cork floor in the kitchen where the entrance to the garage is located, I wanted it done before winter came and the associated muddy boots would be tracking where they shouldn’t. The task was complicated by the expected arrival of our first child in August, somewhere around the 2/3 mark in the project. Not being an architect or a structural engineer, I’m not qualified to choose just the right framing for the load. So I did the next best thing: I over-engineered it. The entire room covers a 12×6 area, though an angled door reduces the width at the far end to a space just large enough to hold a stacking washer and dryer. Supporting this are 5 concrete anchors, 4 lag screws, and two 4×4 pillars that “float” on the existing concrete garage floor. I suppose that last should have had proper 6′ columns dug in to the ground, but I felt the existing pad was sufficient. The 12′ run of the floor has three doubled 2×8 and two single 2×8 joists spaced 16″ and is covered by two sheets of 3/4″ plywood making a 1.5″ floor suitable for (future) ceramic tile. Some additional structure elements were added cross-wise so that it could withstand (hopefully) someone accidentally hitting it with a car. The walls are 2×4 walls with 3.5″ spikes holding the bottom plate to the base structure (again to help it withstand being bumped by a car).

How To Remove Cat Urine From Wood Floors
waysandhow.com &&& How to remove cat urine from wood floors is a problem most cat owners worry about. Cats love to mark their territory with urine as well as to pee about as they please. Also, compared to dogs, a cat’s diet leads to smellier urine that is more likely to result in stains. As a result, cat owners with wood floors worry about how to prevent their floors from staining and prevent the stink given the pungent smell of cat urine.

Cork Floor Installation v2.0
A time lapse of me installing Duro Design cork flooring in my bathroom. Includes the inspection by my two year old son at the end. Real time installation was about 4 hours including waiting for the adhesive to dry, plus four coats of urethane over two days. Granted, I put it in after working a night shift, so it may have taken less time for a well rested person. The floor I put down is Duro Design “Coffee” coloured cork in the “Marmol” pattern.
