Reclaimed wood floors

We reused wood from the original garage structure for the wood floors in the loft.  We loved the wide planks and asked Joel if they could be repurposed for the floor.   There is great satisfaction in reusing something original to the structure and showing it in a new, more beautiful way.  It's not necessarily the easiest, or least expensive, route to take.  There were some extra steps involved in reusing the wood--nails had to be removed, each piece had to be sanded, then each piece had to be cut into a uniform size--but in the end we got a little more than just a nice wood floor.
