Like it IS possible to cut other angles than 45 degrees… also the paint is peeling where they’ve made the cuts making it all look shit. Considering just asking them to remove them all and putting the plinth ourselves.

Help with replacement!!

My kitten tore into my rentals carpet, is this fixable with a patch? From a previous incident it looks like they layed the carpet in one huge piece to fit the entire apartment.

How to get up this carpet glue? At least 30 years old

Trying to convert this room into a dog kennel and plan on doing garage epoxy over the floor, I’ve tried dawn and hot water, a handheld oscillating tool which is how I got the pad up, and now I’m left with this. There has to be an easier way.

Is this transition done well?

We had our hardwood floors refinished and are very happy with them. Then we had someone else come to re-tack the carpets. We have no other transitions from carpet to wood in our house so I just wanted an opinion on if this was done well before I pay the $250. To me it looks puffy and loose but if that just how this kinda thing works then that’s fine I guess.

Engineered flooring question

I had a contractor come to measure my house as we were hoping to tear out tile and engineered wood and replace it all with updated engineered wood. He said if the height of the new flooring was higher than the tile we have in the kitchen, he would have to ‘lift’ our base cabinets, which are connected to upper cabinets, which go up to the ceiling and saw out the grout in order to fit the new flooring. This sounded absolutely insane to me, instead of cutting under the base cabinets. And he insists all demo and reinstall in less than 10 days for around 1800 feet. Thoughts/comments?

Best way of removing leftover OSB?

What's the best and fastest way to remove the leftover OSB? It was glued and nailed down so I had to pretty much rip them off. I'm currently using my oscillating tool and then sanding them down. Any suggestions?

How to tone down the orange and red?

We recently purchased lumber from ID for our remodel. It’s Tamarack (Larch). I love the thickness and the rustic look of real wood with the grain finish. However, I am having a hard time with some of the orangey reddish tones in this flooring. It has NOT been sanded yet. How should I go about finishing this floor. I do not want to stain it darker. Just neutralize the more orange/red parts of the floor. First picture is with a light on and second picture is on natural light.

EDIT - To reiterate, I love the wood. I am okay with the flooring as is. I never said I didn’t like it. All I was asking for was a neutralized finish. Something like Nordic Seal or Natural Seal. I know this type of wood tends to Amber more over time which is why I’d like a finish to keep it as is or neutralizes some of the more red parts.

I appreciate any helpful comments.
