Urgent glue question!!!
Comments (5)I am doing 1st and 2nd floors. Below the 1st floor is basement. I laid an 8mil vapor barrier before the basement slab was poured... overlapped, seams sealed... my basement is VERY dry. Within 1-2% moisture content reading of 1st floor. Are you saying that hardwood floors are affected by moisture from below predominantly? How much impact does moisture on the finished side of the floor have compared to from below? With the very dry basement, it seems to me that Bostik's Best with a permeability of 5.9x10-4 is going to also give ma an additional layer of protection... in addition to filling any voids and eliminating any possibility of squeaks caused by board movement from walking on it.

Comments (55)Kiko, I don't know if you got my last email. These cabinets are fairly common where I live so not a big turn off to buyers as they will see them often if they are looking at custom homes built in the 1970s-1980s. I just came across one today while browsing homes for sale. This one looks completely original and shows a detail that really bugged me about this cabinet builder - the cabinet that housed the double oven. I also had a pantry the same height and noticed you had something that height. They may not be a problem for tall people, but I couldn't get to the cabinets over them. I changed that with our remodel. I talked to my friend who had the same cabinets, thought I might get a picture of them painted for you. But she painted some, disliked the way they looked painted, mainly because the dust showed up so much more than when they were stained, and she replaced them with plain doors....See MorePlease help me decide - natural red oak vs. natural white oak.
Comments (27)mark_rachel, that is what I told my husband! And, Oak & Board, I've been studying this off and on for at least a year. You are one of my favorite commentors. I have learned a lot from you. Both of the samples are solid hardwood not engineered. KD is pleased with the quality of the floor and barely there bevel. Haven't seen a white oak floor yet in Michigan. Well aware of matching existing flooring of which we have none. Need a little more visual interest than the white oak. Considered natural hickory and I think it is too much for me. In my area, everyone is used to red oak. Boring Detroit area suburbs. Not a high end home....See Moreneed expert advice - 8” livesawn solid oak flooring install
Comments (17)Everyone gave me such good advice that I’ve come back for more help! Maybe I should start a new thread for this, but thought I’d start here first. Good news is I’ve corrected some concerns for the moisture issue before our hardwood install. Gutters, exterior drains, crawl space dehumidifiers in crawl space (commercial size) all installed. I’m also working with HVAC & electrical for temporary power to the HVAC system. So I’m feeling comfortable with that. I’ve also decided to go with 7.5” European live sawn engineered core with a 6mm wear layer rather than the 8” solids white oak. Now my issue is staining... I was going to use the loba 2k Supra finish but am now leaning toward an impact oil. Beautiful light to medium floors leaning more gray than red is what I was anticipating until... I realize my stair treads are red oak! I’ve contemplated getting a quote to change out the stair treads, but I have two large staircases and I’m afraid that will cost a fortune. We are well over budget already and still a ways to go. There is a decently large balcony area where the edge for the balusters are also red oak as part of the staircase landing and trim material. The balusters should be going up this week. Any suggestions?? Do I halt the baluster and railing install and have it all switched out (dependent on cost) or is there a way to match/blend the flooring and the stair material? I’ve read about bleaching the red oak, dying green, or staining both dark instead of light. I just don’t know the process of those options or how well it actually works. All advice is appreciated....See Moremillworkman
