BCF Reunion

I did hint at some input from Basil, it goes without saying that any BCF "stuff" would need his blessing.
I trust he's enjoying his long weekend.

As much as anyone could enjoy installing oak floors in a room. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cryin.gif
 
My apologies are sincere!

Thumbs are fine, but my right arm is numb from swinging the mallet to strike the floor board nailer. 1000 nails x 2-3 blows per nail = very tired right arm.

Basil
 
They certinaly do, one med blow and in it goes.
 
This LBC person thinks a BCF Reunion would be great. However we might well have to designate zones. For our out-of-country members we would need to come up with a plan. Being selfish and using as a ploy, I think the southwest area should determine New Mexico as its reunion center and can use the excuse of the Emperor Living In The Land Of Enchantment!!!!

So there!

they dont make an air powered thing to do that?

[/ QUOTE ]

They do indeed, but when I went to the rental place the TWO air powerd models they had were both broken, so I optet for the manuel type. How bad could it be, right? Its only a 14 x 14 room /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Basil
 
Oh man. I remember my grandfather doing that with cut nails the old fasioned way. He was a master carp. of course.

Grand old guy.
 
basil, i hope you got the prefinished stuff, because you aint gunna much like the sanding or staining part either! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonod.gif
 
How about Basil? Could you get behind the idea of a BCF reunion? It would be your choice of location or for that matter locations. What says the Emperor? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif

Yes, definitly prefinished! It is 3/4" solid white oak and it's as hard as a rock! It took me an entire weekend to lay it and now I'm doing the base boards (also oak).

Actually this is something we tried a few years ago, but had a lot less members then so it wasn't much of an event. We had BCF "Global Cruse" day where members from various regions got together on a common day and went for a cruse. Now that we have many more members it might be fun to try again, however my schedule would make it difficult until Springtime.

Basil
 
Springtime would be better for me also. It would give me more time to get "Molly" completed and ready to roll. If there is any way I could help put something together I'd be glad to help. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
 
What would you all think if I opened a special forum just for planning and discussing the BCF gathering?

Basil
 
I think this would be an excellent idea. I personally would love to see this happen. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
 
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/iagree.gif The special forum for the Gathering is a great idea!!!
