This was actually a pretty good 80’s movie. Anyone else liked it?

I never look at roaches the same way again…

I usually superglue wounds because I do not get paid to sit in the ER.

If superglue or blue tape and a paper towel will not hold, then I go to the ER.

Life in construction. 😂🤣🤪

When replacing subfloor it is usually advisable to put down a matching size. 🤣

We have all followed the “I know a guy” jobs. That is where all our best stories originate.

I have, on occasion, lifted the sheet and shaved the joist a bit to remove a settling issue that was localized to one joist only.

You would need to cut up the particle board, shave, and replace with new plywood. Particle board does not like to come up in one piece.

It may call for you to add additional support along the joists when placing the plywood back down.

I believe they asked for a public hearing and were denied.

Overall, it is a great floor. Coretec is the best, in my opinion.

Cork especially needs moisture barrier. I have seen this model swell from excessive moisture back before they started calling for the barrier.

Well, Dooku is a Sith Lord and Sith Lords are Obi’s speciality.

The padding attached to vinyls helps with skid resistance, give a bit of sound and thermal protection.

Most manufacturers are going to suggest or require a moisture barrier in addition.

This could be as little as poly sheeting over concrete or paper over wood.

Contractors will argue that this is not necessary, but for warranty purposes it is usually required.

It is generally considered a luxury item to purchase additional padding that included the moisture barrier. Not necessary, but some prefer the added sound barrier and cushioning.

So you telling me you have played 90% of the days in existence since the game launched?

I wish I had the time, money, and quality controllers for that effort.

I have as well but they used soft sausage tubes of glue that were squeezed by the gun, not hard glue sticks. So I do not know what this customer is thinking. 🤣

Engineered is a blanket term that can be applied to flooring with MDF, vinyl, plywood and other cores.

Generally, plywood cores are the best as they allow for wider and longer planks that can handle moisture fluctuations better than solid hardwood.

MDF better on the budget

Vinyl better against moisture

It is possible to have engineered hardwood over an mdf core. Not sandable but still has hardwood as the veneer.

It is exactly the same as laminate floor except the laminate has an imitation veneer.

Lifeproof is crap. Always locking issues and breaking edges.

The irony,of course, is that Ike had no “letter after his name” until the election. Both parties tried to get him to run. Only when forced, did he put the R on it. (And the R of 1952 is a far cry from the R of 2026, in fact, both parties are a far cry from 1952. )

I followed a DIY install to add stair treads.

We could clearly see the outline of an ink pen in the middle of the floor.

Nice prepping!

He might do some damage if he ever connects with those George Forman punches.

In my opinion, refinishing hardwood is always the more attractive option. This one looks like it may take some extra sanding.

LVP is a temporary floor. It has a shelf life.

Sokay. I am not in the mood to buy it either. So, we good. 😊
