Reality check on installation of antique heart pine installation
Comments (9)I purchased just over 3000 sq ft of reclaimed heart fine flooring from an established mill dealing only in reclaimed wood. Before I made the purchase, I spoke with virtually every supplier of reclaimed heart pine and obtained samples from most of them. Without question, the most desirable heart pine is the river heart pine which is milled from logs that have been retrieved from a watery grave, so to speak. River heart pine is outrageously expensive, easily upwards of $30 sq ft. Better grades of reclaimed heart pine are in the neighborhood of $20 sq ft. Except for reclaimed heart pine of questionable origin/grade, left-overs from larger runs or "engineered" wood, I haven't seen any in the $8 sq ft range. I would seriously question any supplier who claims to offer antique heart pine for that low price. As for installation and finishing, I quickly discovered that most flooring contractors will not touch reclaimed wood. Those that do charge the preverbial arm and leg. I used an installer recommended by the mill, and I absolutely regret having done so. The entire floor, all 3000+ sq ft, has to be completely refinished. I wrote about that debacle in a separate thread quite some time ago. Getting to the point, before you agree to the exceptionally steep price your contractor wants to supply/install/finish antique heart pine, talk with Tim at Timberknee in Vermont. Unwilling to repeat my prior mistake with reclaimed heart pine, I recently ordered 440 sq ft of 5" country cherry for my kitchen. The flooring contractor just gave me an estimate of $1125 to install and $1031 to finish using 3 coats of polymerized tung oil from a vendor recommended by Tim at Timberknee. As for the cherry itself, it runs about $8-9 a sq ft. That, at least, is my recollection. More to think about, but I encourage you to think about it. You can get the look without the expense or, perhaps more importantly, the disappointment due to the difficulty of working with reclaimed wood.

Comments (1)NJ has its own special pricing absurdity. The system quoted is low end and would be considered a high price in my location/market. Tell us about your existing furnace; size, brand, model, age, efficiency. I would be very curious why dealer told you a new condenser with matching coil could not be added to your working furnace. You need another quote. IMO...See MoreLennox XC14 price check
Comments (5)I am located in Philadelphia. PECO is service provider. Looks like .15 kWh fully loaded with all charges (gen, disty, etc.) They did quote the AC w/Heat Pump at $6600 so around $1200 delta. I was trying to recall the conversation but I'm thinking I showed my pleasure with the first number before getting the full system number and may have set myself up for a bump in price. At any rate, have a 3rd quote coming in today and need to make a call this week. Leaning towards the full system XL16i. I will likely try and beat them up a bit or ask to move the thermostat to the ComfortLink II at same price. I know thats overkill but kind of like the "future proofing" and I'm a technology guy to boot. Again, appreciate the feedback. SO happy I didn't panic and rush on the first quote. Going to suffer a tad in the heat but well worth it....See MoreAmerican Standard Packaged Unit Mod. 4YCY4(4 ton)
