Tom Daniels began installing the bloodwood flooring in the loft today. I stopped by for a while before heading to work just to talk through the project with him. As we suspected, the bloodwood was too hard and brittle to use his normal flooring nailer - the large nails just broke off the tongues of the flooring pieces. So the ugly answer to this problem was that every single nail hole had to be drilled by hand, then the nail tapped in and set with a nail-set. Not fun. Tom and his son Lance had a rough day, laying about 150 square feet of flooring as opposed to his normal 400 square feet per day that he accomplishes with his normal tools. BUT they are doing a great job and this flooring looks awesome!!!
