- Polyurethane Plywood Floors | Building an Off Grid Home | The ShabinLife
Hey Everyone,
Hope all is well... The floors are finally finished!! Here is the last video with us spreading poly. We used a 50/50 Poly/Mineral Spirits Mix for the first 6 coats and a 75/25 Mix on the 7th to finish up. Sanded with 240 after the 4th coat, 400 after the 5th coat & 1000 after the last coat. On to bigger and better things now, lol... stay tuned for more & thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to the ShabinLife channel here on UA-cam!
We’re Dayna & David and we're excited to share our homestead journey with you. We currently own a home on a 1/4 acre in a suburb of Pennsylvania & have been trying to maximize usage of our small plot to it’s fullest potential. In 2017, after dreaming for years of owning enough land to live a more simple and sustainable, self sufficient lifestyle, we acquired 18 Acres & began the journey of building our future homestead! Our land is quite far from where we currently reside which limits our trips to the property to once a month or so. For the time being we post new videos (or at least try, lol) once a month with updates on how things are moving forward, our pits and peaks as well as sharing all the priceless info we’ve learned from the amazing channels we subscribe to here on UA-cam. Please join us on our ShabinLife adventure as we continue Living Simple & Loving Nature.
A special thanks to the following channels for years of inspiration...

After 4 coats, that looks REALLY good! Thanks for showing the progression.
Dope, y'all just saved me a ton of time and money on our walk-in cooler renovation at my farm. Thanks a bunch!
Boy the floors turned out beautiful. Your place is really coming along. Been watching from the beginning and you guys have worked your butts off. It sure shows all the love you've put into it.
Would you be willing to share an update on how the floors have held up after a couple years? Seriously considering this with a new project.
5th coat will be a charm it does look Nice
The floors look great. Love the way they came out.
A Mr. Mom reference!! Come on. Gold.
Thanks for documenting how you did this! I’m currently building an office shed for myself and am so glad you explained how to do a plywood floor. Looks amazing and affordable.
I’ve worked with wipe on poly for woodworking projects and it definitely can be finicky and takes MANY coats with sanding in between. It’s frustrating for a small project, let alone an entire floor. Good job!
Thanks for checking out the videos Alan, much appreciated!! My apologies for the delayed response, I hope your office reno turned out nice!!
Just found this video. Great job. I do have a question though, why spilt the poly with mineral spirits
Beautiful job guy's
Thanks Yvette, much appreciated!! Have a great holiday season & thanks for checking out the channel!!
Happy holidays @@shabinlife
I think it looks Great!
what was the reason for a poly blend instead of straight poly?
how strong was the smell and how long did it last ? Thanks
Maybe buff it ??
how did you hide the nails/ screws?
What color/brand of stain, it looks great!
Hey F&L, sorry for the delayed reply... Thanks so much, greatly appreciated! We used Minwax Oil Based Early American for the Floors & Shiplap Ceiling. Hope this helps a bit... Have a great weekend!

Thank you so much! 👏
Did you glue the plywood to concrete?
Hey Jesse, thanks for the message... You may have already checked out some of the other videos, but there was an Advantek Subfloor already laid & the finished plywood floor was glued and nailed to the subfloor (no concrete at all but in the crawlspace). Hope this helps a bit... Have a great holiday season!
