    engineered hardwood and subfloor

    I'm still thinking of having the two floors "interleaved" (at the juction of the floors) Anyone think of potential problems? I really would like to avoid a "T" mold at the junction since this junction is probably 8 feet.

    engineered hardwood and subfloor

    I'm going to be constructing a wall in my basement. the floor is carpet over concrete.
