 Easy Inexpensive Flooring

Finishing:FloorsEasy Inexpensive Flooring: Before you assemble your house, set it up and mark where the floor will be. Score with an awl down the side of a metal yardstick. I marked mine 1/2" apart and, although that isn't in scale, it accentuates the floor. I feel that if any smaller, you would be covering up all your work. Then add some lines across your marks to resemble joints in planks. If you want nail holes, just tap the awl with a hammer right by your joint marks. Sand the floors and stain! I did try to wood burn some of the lines to see what effect it would have and the burner operator got a little off track from the wood grain, though it would look great in a old 'lived in house (like my real one, with kids and pets)or a log cabin setting.
