Real Food Coop In Florence Oregon Needs Natural Flooring

The Real Food Coop is moving to a new location. The new location needs flooring to replace the existing carpet.

There are many considerations in choosing flooring like budget, what reclaimed materials are available and the general average moisture content of the floor in the new location.

Most flooring specialists suggest using a moisture meter and many would claim that a meter is absolutely essential for solid hardwood flooring.

Generally one meters the new flooring before installation also to determine if the flooring is at the correct moisture content.

Reclaimed materials that can be used for flooring would be the first choice and anyone with suggestions should contact the coop.

The Coop is currently located across from Honeyman Nursery on Highway 101 South, just a couple of miles south of the Siuslaw River Bridge that crosses over Old Town Florence.

If solid hardwood is not the ideal choice, VitalBodies suggests considering a “floating floor” that is neither nailed down or glued down so that the COOP can take the flooring with them should they ever move again.

Most floating floors need the underlayment to be brought to the point of being flat, with some kind of grout-like leveling compound and the moisture level needs to be within spec of the flooring that is being installed.

There are many kinds of natural flooring materials these days including bamboo, hard woods, Marmoleum, and more.

Did you know that there is (or was) a natural flooring shop next door to Oceana Coop in Newport Oregon?

On Earth Day the sunset is pretty much straight out to the west. A few days later the sunset is a bit further North as the weather continues to shift and spring fully takes hold and the sound of the many wild birds increase with their activity.

Just for fun I created a community blog plate graphic for the community blog and for a graphic for the ABOUT page.

The plate features sunset sun or moon over the waves with stars.

I used Open Source Inkscape and created a SVG file and exported to PNG.
