Making the Wood Floors

The next thing I did was the floors for the dining room and living room.  I scribed the floorboards into basswood and stained the boards.  I glued them in running front to back since I read that is how floorboards in real houses are done.  Then I cut door trim for the dining room.  Unfortunately, I didn't buy all the doors and windows when I first started the house.  The interior door openings were all cut for Bauder Pine doors which, as far as I can tell, aren't being made anymore.  I had no idea how to make french doors, so the doorway between the dining room and living room is open.  But I braved up and made the door into the kitchen from scratch!
