Will sanding all the way down actually let it breath any more or uncover actionable details? We know there is uncured poly down there, the boards are still expanded, and the weather is still warm/humid and getting more so each day. Unfortunately, the floors cover 90% of my house and we're now...

It may very well be his fault, but it is what it is now and I have to deal with the current conditions... which he just does not have an answer for. I'd rather focus on what I can do to dry things out at this point. Having the contractor come to scrape/clean every week - when his lack of...
