Hello all: I just finished installing engineered hard woods on my upstairs (thanks to some great advice on this forum) and am ready to tackle the downstairs level. I have concrete downstairs that has pulled up when we removed the old engineered flooring. There are several areas where this...

Thanks guys: I think I am going to go the concrete grinder route with a diamond blade (and of course a vacuum shroud:) ) I think that will be the best (and cheapest) route for me at this time. Thanks again! Juan

Incognito: Thanks so much for the reply. I've checked out some rental shops and one in particular carries the shot blaster. Unfortunately, it's a bit out of my price range. I think I am going to entertain the hand held grinder method. The area I will be removing the paint from is 300 sf...

Hello all: I am in the process of installing wood flooring on my main level and had a question regarding the process. I am using 3/8 engineered flooring and will be gluing it down. In one portion of my home, I painted the concrete with an exterior concrete paint. I can't remember the...

Thanks all for you help. It is true that I am not a pro at this :), but I am pretty handy. I've helped install wood flooring for a couple of neighbors, but it was always on the main level of the homes and not upstairs. Ernesto: Thanks, I do remember this being the option for coming out of...

Thanks Lee: So are you suggesting I work from the stair nose? The stair nose has the groove so how will I nail the floor down? Is there a piece that would goinside of the groove on the stair nose and the first board I lay if I start at the stair nose? I beleive there is a piece (I recall...

Thanks for the responses. LeePelletier: Do you have another suggestion regarding the placement of the boards as they pertain to the stair nose? I need to make sure they butt up against the stair nose perfectly, otherwise I may have a gap or a board that is too wide, and I don't want that...
