The Team is Glad to Be Back

The video begins with the hosts, Tommy and Kevin, expressing their excitement to be back working on a new project. They welcome their colleague, Josh, who has also returned after some time off. The team discusses what they will be working on in this section of the floor, which has been affected by water damage from above.

Water Damage Repair

The hosts acknowledge that the floor has rotted due to the water damage and that they need to patch it up immediately. Tommy mentions that he was discussing with Josh where he wants to cut back the damaged area, and both agree that they want to minimize the visibility of the repair without making it too noticeable. Josh agrees to saw-cut the area to avoid a straight line, which would make the repair more difficult.

The team decides to work on different aspects of the repair project separately, with Tommy focusing on this section and Josh working on another part. Tommy explains that he is going to use a different approach than his colleagues, and that he will be patching the area in a way that will blend in seamlessly once the finishings are applied.

Creating a Jig for the Flooring Boards

Tommy reveals that he has created a jig to help him route out the flooring boards with precision. The idea behind the jig is to ensure that the router can fit into the space left by removing the damaged material, allowing Tommy to create a seamless transition between the old floor and the new one. Tommy explains that the jig will enable him to run his router with a templating bit and a bearing on top, which will help him remove just the right amount of material.

Using the Jig for Routing

With the jig in place, Tommy is able to route out the flooring boards with ease. He uses the templating bit and bearing to remove the damaged material, creating a smooth surface that will receive the new flooring board. Tommy's attention to detail and use of specialized tools make the repair process more efficient and effective.

The Patching Process

Once the router work is complete, Tommy begins the patching process. He takes the flooring boards that were removed and uses them as a veneer over the old floor. This will help create a seamless transition between the new and old materials. The hosts are excited about the progress they are making, and Tommy expresses his satisfaction with the results.

The Finished Result

After completing the patching process, the hosts take a step back to admire their handiwork. They reveal that once the finishes are applied and the floors are sanded and refinished, the repair will be virtually invisible. The team is proud of what they have accomplished, and Tommy thanks them for watching the video.
