He Had Me Do What

We are using very few straight walls in the house. The wall between the bedroom/laundry and the dining room is going in with this phase. It is the wall you see when you come in to the house so we want a pretty curve to it. Our first thought was just a inward curve but that took too much space out of the bedroom and laundry. Bill left and gave me the task of finding the shape. He put down boards to show walls and tape measure to mark the laundry room door opening. He cut a bunch of boards in 12 inch lengths. This size of boards is easy to work with in a curve.


  
I tried using several different sizes of screwdrivers and then folded paper to get even spacing between the boards. Nothing worked so I needed to just eyeball it.

This is a screwdriver being used as a spacer.




 
Lay it out and then retry with another shape.



After I got the shape I wanted; ran a pencil line on the concrete. It is easier to see any problems with a line than the boards.




Didn't like that line; move boards to a different angle.

 Then onto my handy dandy Power Grab to glue the boards down until Bill has time to nail them to the floor.

 

Floor swept, couple of lines of the adhesive, final blow of any dust, fingers crossed it will look good and put the boards down.
 

I like it, just enough to add interest with looking weird.
