Found some “wood” flooring out at the curb and I had fence boards from the last hurricane.

After finding flooring on the curb and using old fence boards I laid out some 2 x 2 and attached the fence boards to it. I decided on the length by the amount of flooring I had. Being able to see the grandkids in a few more weeks, we all have had our COVID shots. I built and airplane swing so I decided to build a bowling lane. If it keeps them off of the electronic games for an hour. I will be happy and hopefully they will have a good childhood memory.

once I had the fence boards laid out and screwed down I glued and stapled the floor pieces.
