Mark recently installed hardwood flooring in place of carpet in a customer's living room, front hall and stairway:
|  | 
| First he removed the old carpet, exposing the plywood subfloor. | 
|  | 
| He installed 2 1/2" floorboards, 3/4" thick. | 
|  | 
| Apparent color variations are caused by changes in lighting conditions. | 
|  | 
| The finished living room floor. Minimal care will keep this floor beautiful for quite some time. | 
|  | 
| The front entry | 
|  | 
| The stairs looked like this when Mark got to them. | 
|  | 
| He started by removing the carpeting. | 
|  | 
| He used one-inch-thick premium oak for the treads. | 
|  | 
| Applying the finish really brings out the beauty of the grain. | 
|  | 
| The stair stringer is exposed here. | 
|  | 
| The treads are in place. New balusters will be next. | 
|  | 
| White risers are popular now. | 
|  | 
| The finished stairway |
