Do you not have a set square? Then you can just check if it's 90 degrees or not.
Problem is solved
now the entire listband is in place, I'll glue it shortly, so it can set overnight. Then tomorrow, the rest will be done, if I have time; the christening is at 2 PM. But it should be doable.
saw this clip, and see how the floor looks.. then I should be satisfied with my flooring
Considering whether I should do this BEFORE they come and sand the floor, as my time is cheap
but do you think it would matter if they have sanded an oak floor that is lacquered, and you use it? or do you think it will show since my hard wax oil is very dark, thinking it might get tinted.
What do you call it in Sweden for filler? is it glue or what could it be?
A huge thank you to everyone who has helped me!!!!
Without you, my floor would have ended up at the dump, and cheap laminate would be there instead. I'm almost finished. I discovered that I made a small mistake... with the mitered corners. Can't quite get them right. But there are only 3 pieces left to miter. Then it's done.
They are coming next week to sand the floor.
However, I'm starting to get cold feet about my choice of color, starting to doubt
That sounds good What kind of finish are you planning? Is it hardwax oil you're going to use?
Yep, bought Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C..
and the color is charcoal
but I'm starting to wonder if I want it or not, it will be very dark, and I want the herringbone pattern to show so it doesn't just appear as a dark wood floor
Somehow I'm not getting the same measurement in one corner. Which results in this:
Do you have any tips?
I've checked the other corners and they all have the same measurements on both sides... but not here. If the rods were wider, it wouldn't be a problem.
Is it a misconception or does reality differ that much from the ideal?
To save the situation, I would backtrack the right frieze a few bars and adjust one or two correction bars so that the corner joint is correct.
The right one must be larger for it to fit, right? Then you have to backtrack quite a lot and cut down many bars to fit an additional one, the left one should become smaller so there you can probably take everything on one bar?

Yes, you are right, your suggestion is at least one bar more economical than mine.
It was possible to solve thanks to you... Nino We thank you for that... became so satisfied with it that I tore up another corner. It was the first one, which I was embarrassed about, but now it's almost done, I'll lay 2 pieces, then only the very small pieces at the top in each corner are left.
Must drag it out now so I have something to do over the weekend
So now the very small pieces that are supposed to be in all corners are drying, since it's not possible to nail them, so I have glued them together and am waiting a bit before gluing them to the floor.
But I really need your help...
1. Choice of treatment... do you think it will be too dark? that the herringbone pattern won't be visible that much?
2. Is there any other product than Bona fix & fill?
Feel free to post a picture of how dark you're envisioning. I probably wouldn't have done it black on a new floor. I personally think dark herringbone floors are really nice, even though we chose not to do it ourselves. I highly recommend Osmo's products. First, you stain with a pigmented hardwax oil and then apply the final layer with a regular matte Osmo hardwax oil original.
