Re: Oak And Travatine
ED&ED could not get the layout done in two weeks.
 Larry and Kevin would be done early enough to shoot a few games of pool. Why do you ask? |

2 men who knew what they were doing as long as it wasn't all small hallways and weird angle.

Re: Oak And Travatine

Re: Oak And Travatine
That is enough work to keep one guy busy.
2 guys and you'll be done in a week. Throw 10 guys at it and it will still take 2 days, as you have to come back and grout the next day, or use quick set and knock it out in a day.  How many guys do you think you will need? You've seen the project, I have not.

Re: Oak And Travatine
Well of course, the baby zebra is the one with the skills!
I will do my best to be more forthcoming in the future |

Re: Oak And Travatine
2 guys for completion in 2 weeks. Is prefinished oak glue down or floating?
A little high-sighted for 1 guy, I personally believe... |

Re: Oak And Travatine
This week we did 2000 sq ft , with 5 skilled guys in 4 days . Work including moving a 24 ft U-Haul truck full of furniture , Demo 750 sq ft tile, Demo carpet, prep & level concrete subfloor ,Install 2000 sq ft 5" Black engineered glue-down hardwood , install 480 linear ft 5" base , install 3 new toilets, undercut limestone fireplace , etc. We had to zig zag around many diffcult hallways & meet up through diffrent sections of the house.
If you are installing that much trav they will want 1/8 grout lines , the tile will be brittle , everything must be level . 4500 sq ft of tile and wood, it would take us 9 days. Thats trimed out /piant/caulk, sealed tile/grout, the final touch. Every depends on the skill and speed of your helpers. BOTTOM LINE Good Luck |
