How to Remove Hardwood Flooring

January 13th, 2014

So last weekend we ripped out some of the hardwood flooring in our vestibule and got started with adding in the new boards.  Since we were super busy with work and our Free Built-In Plans, we haven’t had much opportunity to continue work on it.  Even though the office floor is roughly half done, it’s probably still going to take me another 6-8 hours.  Installing hardwood flooring takes hours and hours and hours.  It’s some back breaking work.  Doesn’t hurt to take a brake from it to recuperate.

While I was ripping out the old flooring, I took the opportunity to take some video of the process.  Removing hardwood flooring without damaging any other boards than the ones you want to take out isn’t quite as hard as it looks.  It can be done with a circular saw, a crow bar and a chisel.

Check out the video and let me know if you have any questions.
