The wood shop and Library, Part 2

The wood shop flooring had serious termite issues and it had to be dealt with.

I tried just cutting around the inside of the shop and treat it that way. No luck on that, the termite issue was to extensive.

At this point in the game it was determined to remove the flooring, starting with the maple tongue and grove flooring.

And there was a pile of it.

Then the sub flooring came up next.

To do this task was a large task as all the sub flooring had been installed with special hardened nails.

To accomplish this all the equipment had to be moved a number of times.

With the flooring removed it was time to check the walls. More termites. All the sheet rock was removed from the wood shop and about 1/2 of the studs replaced.

It was at this point I decided to correct some of the electrical problems and original wood shop issues.

After the sheet rock was put up the walls were painted.

This took several weekends as the equipment had to be moved every time we started a new section of the wood shop.
