I think I pass on that price and material . Just seems like you could get a better wood material then bamboo for the price .
Always willing to learn .
April 8, 2015 at 10:23 pm #313505I installed bamboo quarter round to finish off the floor around some rooms a few years ago. At first I tried to use a finish nailer, but it split the bamboo pieces. I predrilled each hole before setting a nail by hand. Cutting it on the saw made really bad tearout on the backside. Definitely had to use backer scrap boards to prevent it from splintering completely. Was a pain in the butt, but worked if you did stuff carefully.

Is that a tough install? Do the mats come premade?

It isn’t always for nothing. It is frustrating, but any learning can be applied to future projects when someone asks for something similar.

Yeah, it come with the territory though. Luckily this just involved a couple phone calls. If it’s gonna be a bunch of leg work on my end I’ll charge a few hundred bucks for a proposal. This either weeds out the wushu washy folks, or makes it worth my time if they don’t want to move forward.
