Former Carlisle employee gets her dream floor, thanks to mother nature
Mother Nature decided for Elizabeth MacIntire which floor would be re-done first. Elizabeth just happens to be a former Carlisle employee, who had longed for one of our floors for a long time.
An ice dam on the roof fhe1980s-style she and her husband purchased in New Boston, N.H., created a leak and ruined wall-to-wall carpeting in the dining room.
“I was thrilled that I was FINALLY going to get myself a Carlisle Wide Plank floor (thank you Mother Nature!),” she wrote to us.
They chose 10-inch Southern Yellow Heart Pine, finished with 3 coats Antique Satin Tung Oil and, for a little shine, a top coat of Original Tung Oil.
That Mother Nature-induced project led to another — removing a wall from the front hall into the dining room, and then the stairs which also got the Heart Pine to keep, as Elizabeth said, “the gorgeous wood flowing throughout the home.”
