A good days work

I got to install some custom medallions in a floor today. These are made by Oshkosh Designs, out of Wisconsin. They are CNC machined and sent to us. All I have to do is cut them into the floor. The quality of these are second to none. Not only do they send the medallions ready to install, but they also send a template to cut the floor and they send a pattern bit for the router. The only thing else they could do is install them for me.

Now I know that your thinking that a trained monkey could probably do this. However, I'm about the only one that my company trusts to do this right. Sad isn't it. These medallions only took 45 minutes to install. The rest of the day was spent repairing holes left in the floor from the old radiators, and cutting in 8 flush mount vents in the existing floor. That part took about 6 hours.

Looks good! What room was that installed in to? A closet/bathroom?

It was in a 3' x 5' archway thing between a dining room and living room.

Does the shoe come with the kit?

They look cool! Why didn't we do that in my floor?
