 All right, you're gonna have to excuse the minor headache I have right now I had this idiotic conversation this morning you know one of those conversations where someone's trying to get you to do stuff for them and to try to convince you to do it they keep minimizing all the work you'll have to do oh it's nothing it's like nothing you can do this in your sleep right it's basically nothing and then you're like wait a minute you want me to do a lot of work and then you don't have to appreciate it because it was nothing anyway I'm up here on my second floor and I've decided it's time to get going on those floorboards I know the wood is not totally dry I don't know maybe it is I can't see inside the wood but it's probably not totally dry however it's mostly dry I might have to do some you know rearranging in a couple months just to squeeze in the spaces and whatever right I think I can I think I want to just do it so I want to get stuff up here and the second floor is gonna be amazing to have and blah blah blah also I built stairs check these out just stand up now these are the most complicated stairs I've ever built you may notice they twist yeah that was on purpose it actually took a lot of measurements every every step had to be measured to twist correctly on the way up and it twists because I am in a roundhouse and I thought it would be weird I mean I the other possibility I was thinking about doing was taking a board across here you know to make it 90 degrees to the stairs so the bottom would be 90 degrees and the top would be 90 degrees but then you'd come up the stairs and you'd be like aiming you know you'd be like aiming at the wall and I didn't think that would be right so I made the stairs twist so when you get to the top you step up step off the top stairs and you're like you're already in line with the curve to go around you know go around the house so I don't know I guess a lot of people wouldn't care about that I thought it was important enough to do though also this morning I took this board up to the planer to my planer it's my planer I love that thing and I mean it looks it looked pretty much like this this morning and I took it up to the lumber mill first and cut it to width for this spot right beside the stairs and then I planed it and I've been going around measuring thicknesses of boards to kind of figure out what I can plane down to that will be able to work with the large majority of boards this one here has a thin end over here so you know whatever but like almost all of them can be planed down to this thickness just fine and this is three and a half centimeters thick I thought that was a good thickness I mean it's that's plenty thick it's like almost like a two by four that you get in the store almost I think it's a little thinner than that but yeah I think that would be good and then I planned it so it's nice and flat I do have to sharpen my planer blades I don't know if you can see in the camera that well but it's a bit of fur not too bad I mean it's nothing that you're gonna like it's not leaving like splinters or anything and I could go over that with sandpaper and get it out but it's not that bad but if I if I sharpen the blades on the planer a little better it should reduce this other than that though I think I'm just gonna shut up and cut this board to length to fit right here and that'll be my first floorboard and then I guess I'll just well let me do that one then I can figure out what to do I mean just keep going I guess okay the angle is easy to get I just put it so it's resting up against there take a ruler right there and then I just have to measure from here to the other end of the board make sure it's equal with this corner to that corner alright and then I'll do the angle the same yeah okay this is a piece of cake my brains are still great oh and I'm I moved the board I mean the obvious thing would be to start right at one end and keep as big a piece of board as I can however there's this piece here which was a little bit too thin to go through the the lumber mill and if this was anywhere else I would just cut off like another half a centimeter or something and flatten that out but this goes right beside the stairs so there's no board that goes up next to this so that's fine I thought it would be a nice little natural feature oh right and anyway I don't I want this I can't have it over there because it'll be next to a board and I don't want it to be right at the end I just I just wanted to be in the middle somewhere so that's that's why the boards here so this is supported there and there I think the wood is thick enough yeah it's fine hey I had a big enough piece left over for that all right let's get some of these boards up just keep going okay before I forget Jamie your planer cuts a millimeter thinner than it says so if you want to cut 35 millimeters set it to 36 don't forget so I'm sliding boards down here to the first floor so I can walk out the front door around the house up a hill up to the lumber mill which is like over see right it's like right over there yeah I think I just need to pass the boards right out this window it's way less stupid oh you know what I should just have one board that stays here there we go leave that board right there
