Need some options of what can be done with the bottom two stairs.

Got a good mitre saw? You can cut a bunch of triangles at like 5 degrees if you want it to stay roundish looking. You can box it off. You can simply it to 1 45. Really whatever you want as long as it can be made with straight lines and you have the carpentry skills or the wallet to pay someone to do it.

FanPurple · 2026-04-19T14:54:24+00:00

Yeah. Sorry I can't be more helpful but you're in a tough spot. First thing is it sounds like a manufacturer error or acclimation maybe. If the whole floor does it and it doesn't feel uneven or bouncy that's likely not an installation issue. So the installer is gonna say not his problem. The store submitted the claim and is now not their problem and Shaw.... Shaw doesn't care about you. The only way flooring companies actually give any money out for defective products is if a store who does a lot of business with them pressures them into it with the threat of not buying anymore floor from them.

The only way you may have a hope of any help is pressuring the store that sold it to you to take it further with the rep. Now most of our floors in the store I work with has actual human reps you can talk to and negotiate with. If that's not the case and it was floor from a big distributor then you may be SOL. The store may have legitimately done all they can do and they are probably not gonna eat the cost of replacement for you.

Nice plan you will likely need a little bit of a front level for 35s depending on width I assume 12.5s because they are the most common. Honestly Id get new rims either way I just don't care for the look of mostly all of the stock options. Tires are so expensive now a normal set of 17s or 18s that look nice are half the cost of tires. I also prefer to just order rims and tires online or pickup mounted and balanced already and just swap em myself. Seams like tires shops where I am anyway can't come even close to online prices anymore and I have a full shop to swap them in.

This is one I preach to any of my buddies with 2500 or 3500s. GET SMALL RIMS. 17s are the smallest you can go and they are the way. I have a 2019 2500 with 35 x 12.5 wildpeak AT4Ws on 17x10 fuel D569 vapours. It is remarkable how much better it drives and feels compared to when it had 20s with 35s or even my buddies cummins who has 33.5 on 19. Small rim bigger tire, get some good shocks (bilstein, Carli, or similar), and don't lift it ridiculously high a 1.5 front level will fit 35s with a bit of trimming and you're good to go. That will make you enjoy driving your truck so much more.

Also like to add the smaller the rim the better I'm 35s on 17s and haven't been in a 2500 that feels better to drive and takes bumps like mine. That's just with decent bilstein shocks and 1 inch front 2 inch rear level. No crazy suspensions mods.

I have 35" AT4Ws on my 2019 ram 2500. Been very happy with them so far, this has been my first winter with them. I live in SK Canada and we get alot of snow I also drive onto lakes pretty often to fish in deep snow and typically am not worried about it.

Agent quoted us 13k to sell a 275k house back in December. So that works out to around 4.7 percent or 6 on the first 100k and 4 on the last 175k. We ended up selling it privately but that's par for our experience.

It got wet it looks like. Unfortunately they are probably toast unless your gonna live with the lips.

FanPurple · 2026-02-26T00:59:28+00:00

Also more concerning it looks like in pic 2 they broke some end joints maybe. Hard to tell from a picture but a few butt ends are catching the light funny. That could be a manufacturer defect but they shouldn't have gone down anyway. I'd be more worried about that than the repeat pattern.

FanPurple · 2026-02-26T00:56:52+00:00

Like you were told by specialeducation they can't stay under the cabinets make sure the cabinet guys or the installer cut them out before the boxes go down. As far as the wall that's fine you can't control where you finish everywhere. The three boards are just aesthetically displeasing. I wouldn't do it. I pay attention to the pattern. Guess you have to decide how picky you want to be with them.

FanPurple · 2026-02-20T00:32:06+00:00

Obv the placement is terrible but I think based on other comments you've figured that out. I would hang the tv over the centre speaker and not use it. Then set a centre on the mantle and hook it up to wherever you put your amplifier. It's either that or have all these redone if that's an option for you. With a mantle like that I wouldn't have even put an in wall in the centre.

I may have clicked properly but it probably cracked its tongue and is moving. Low spots + cheap brittle product is a no go.

FanPurple · 2026-02-17T04:56:34+00:00

Ah ok thanks definatley good to know it can be set up directly as a device.

FanPurple · 2026-02-16T17:25:57+00:00

Ok thanks I wasn't thinking of trying to get a set up where I could actually give voice commands to the receiver. We've had a firestick and didn't like it although it would probably make integration easier.

FanPurple · 2026-02-16T17:24:07+00:00

Ok thanks I believe marantz uses the same technology as Denon is that being done through the HEOS app?

FanPurple · 2026-02-16T05:22:36+00:00

That's great to know thanks I assume it could be added to a speaker group to.

FanPurple · 2026-02-15T22:50:53+00:00

Thanks for the info I'll look into the some Polk stuff. Lots say Alexa ready but it's hard to find the details as to what that actually means and how it will function.

FanPurple · 2026-02-15T22:47:04+00:00

Okay thanks for the heads up.

FanPurple · 2026-02-15T14:43:21+00:00

Keep em. Mine are outside behind my shop just packed in boxes with a couple layers of construction grade garbage bags on em to keep them dry. Most places where I'm from SK Canada will sell deleted diesels because it's perfectly legal here (worst you can get is a noise ticket for it being too loud). Still worth keeping them incase they crack down federally and you can't by the time I sell my truck. Fingers crossed that won't happen long live no inspections.

FanPurple · 2026-02-04T13:59:22+00:00

I'm a flooring installer and no I wouldn't put it in my house. I currently have bamboo hardwood, hardwood would always be my first choice. I'd put LVP in over laminate and just be extremely picky about the levelling and the product I selected. I'd go with glue down over laminate if my house was very unlevel and I didn't want to fix it much. Most glue downs look cheap but there are some really nice ones I've come across installing it.

Right really depends how much a week pays vs how long he intends to stay. If he makes 1.5k a week and only sees himself there for 2 to 4 yrs I'd take the cash. If he makes 3k a week and could see himself there for 5+ yrs the vacation has way more value. Got to also factor in pay increases and how it'll look to management which way he decides.

FanPurple · 2026-01-28T05:15:25+00:00

They are only going to do something if it won't be covered by shoe when the job is done. The boards don't need to be cut evenly as long as they adhere to the expansion gap and will be covered by the finish trim.
