New Floor step 1

With the water leak "taken care of" it is time to move onto replacing the floor.  The old rotten wood has been replaced with new plywood and the low spots have been filled with leveling compound.  It looked like I would have to make 5 seams to work around the island and the cabinet overhang.  Several people suggested trying to bend the new plywood length wise to get it under the cabinet overhang.  Figured it was worth a shot so bought some 1/4" birch plywood at Lowes to try.

Made a paper template, transferred it the plywood and then cut out the shape.  I had to do some sanding and adjusting but the plywood did go in with it bent length wise, :).  I did not get all the layout perfect so with the plywood now on the floor I can use it to make new and improved templates.  Once I am happy with the templates I can get the 6mm teak and holly plywood, transfer the layout and cut for the finished product.

The area under the settee where you see the wires will get repaired with new plywood as well
