Location: Corning, Iowa | We have a recycle place close to us, 19 miles, that use to make boards out of pop bottles, credit cards, tooth brushes, what ever they could get. Now they just make decking boards, and land scaping timbers,6X6s. I think you could get some decking , and sand the texture off, cut them to size, and screw them onto your new boards.When we put new carpet on ours, I measured the 2X4 in half, put carpet glue, on half,stapled the carpet down on the glue, and then clamped it down for a day. I go to work at 6 am, and get off at4:30pm. I'm in the basement at 4 am doing whatever. Every day I gued half a board, until I was done.Maybe not the best way, but I'm happy. I hope this helps. Good luck Doug |
