This room used to be a screened porch, and it is slab on grade whereas the rest of the house is above grade. The slab for this room is actually sloped which means I needed to rip the 2'x6" to keep the room floor level. And the slab has a 3/16" birdbath in it. All this just adds to the PITA this project had been.

This week the oak flooring was installed. Ties right in the existing floor perfectly. Three coats of stain and poly and the morning light shines bright.
