Recycle Gymnasium hardwood floor
My church is getting a new hardwood basketball floor in the gym. I am
wondering is there any way to recycle the floor boards that are being torn out for use in a home floor? |

Recycle Gymnasium hardwood floor
I know someone who did this and it's a lot of work getting them out
without cracking the wood but it looked amazing when they were done. Jack wrote: My church is getting a new hardwood basketball floor in the gym. I am wondering is there any way to recycle the floor boards that are being torn out for use in a home floor? |

Recycle Gymnasium hardwood floor
yeah, it's a ton of work. if it has been sanded multiple times, it
won't fit together well. i have heard of people running it through a thickness planer so that it will form a flush surface on top. also, you will have to scrape the old finish and dirt off of each piece so they go together tightly. by the time you are done, you might think the 2 or 3 bucks a square foot you spend on new looks pretty cheap! |
