The $3,400 floor (Read 1670 times)

    I worked with a guy that did that in his kitchen, but he only used nice shiny new pennies.  He painted the subfloor black, placed every penny heads up (and pointing in the same direction) then poured polyurethane over the entire floor and allowed it to self-level.  I never saw it in person, but the pictures were great.  He said it would pretty much glow when the morning sun hit it just right.

     

    I wouldn't have the patience to do it, but I've kept it in mind for a much smaller surface like a bartop or coffee table.

      That is nice, if pricey.  I didn't see a photo of the finished floor, though.

          I had a friend who used this method for their college house bar with bottle caps.

              That store is just a few miles from my house.  Cool stuff! 

              The only difference
              That I see
              Is you are exactly the same
              As you used to be

                Go get a better picture of it.

                  Will do.  Hopefully I won't drop too much $$ while there.

                    This is definitely cool, but I don't think we can wear it.  Wink

                      Not nearly as cool as the $30,000 floor...

                        Now I know where I could fit my deep freeze.  I should just install in the crawlspace flush with my kitchen floor.  BRILLIANT!

                        Actually, I've always wanted to do a root cellar that way.

                          If I ever get a wine cellar, it will be when we build a storm shelter under a screened porch out back accessed via a trap door in the floor.  I will probably not bother with the spiral stairs though.
