Thank you all for your help. How do I glue down a transition? What glue do I use? Do I glue it to the wood at all or just the concrete and let the floor ride up underneath it? I'll be going from wood to tile and wood to carpet. The type of flooring I bought is a click together. When I...

Can you explain what you mean by click it backwards and where?

OK, after further review, the wood I ordered is 3/8 x 5" engineered. It is a click together floor so looks like I won't have to use glue. Do most click together come with built in underlayment? If not, what should I get. I have a baby grand piano in the study. I'll be ripping out the...

I think you may be right. 1. Do my level tolerances for a floating floor have to be less than a glue down? 2. I just got through looking at glue and it is really expensive. 3. If I float, what should I put down as an underlayment? Thank you

Has anyone had any experience w/ cabin grade wood? I found some for a deal of about $2 a sf. I don't 'think' I'll have an issue with the shorter boards, knots or streaks but, where I read about possible cracks in the wood - that has me nervous. I thought I would buy about 115% of what I need...

Yes, very, very similar. I didn't know you could undercut them - that's a great idea. Just use a jamb saw? I was going to get a manual one but I guess that wouldn't work on the fireplace because I don't have Popeye forearms. I'm getting a little further in my research and scouting out some...

I'm probably going to try and install a glue down engineered floor myself. Den Install: 1. Should I start in the middle of the room? 2. If I pop a chalkline, how do I know if the chalkline is in the middle and straight - not at an angle? 3. The room is about 650 sf. My front door...
