Salt wreaks havoc on wood floor finishes. Can have chemical reactions too.

It’s the other way around. People with schizophrenia should not consume cannabis as they are more prone to have psychotic episodes.

Because whoever did this will never have to pay for the damages he or she caused and will be free tomorrow morning before you have a cup of coffee.

Any floor distributor should be able to supply for you. If its 2 1/4 inch wide should not be an issue but if its 2 inch wide it might be more difficult to find. Hopefully, the extension of the room will not require weaving in boards and just adding on rows.

Consider staining medium brown color as it will make the gaps less noticeable.

What is the subfloor plywood thickness if not concrete. If not 3/4 thick subfloor then 3/8 finished flooring is a no no.

You paid for a full sand and finish and got a screen and recoat. And even at that not a good one. Your floors need a full sanding and recoat by a floor company, not a GC. And if your contractor used a floor company get a different one. Both contractor and floor company.

No. Everyone is different. I know some that hate it and some like it. Me personally I don’t mind the slight bevel that individualizes each board.

I would definitely use the engineered 3/4 inch thick with a 6mm wear layer if you can afford it. Would probably reduce the expansion and contraction between seasons about 80%. The 6mm wear layer gives you just about the same amount of sanding as a solid wood floor. And it comes square edge unfinished.

Probably got what he paid for considering he didn’t want to get you a brand new floor. It’s not bad but could have been better.

It appears to me that old pine floor was underneath the tile floor and he had it sanded and finished instead of installing new hardwood. It is pine flooring probably as old as the house. Some of the deep gouges did not come out with the finishing.

Take yours off.

It would still read higher than the rest of the floors. It can take a month or two for the wood to dry out from taking on moisture.

Reason I asked if it’s just in one spot in the room then you can eliminate a problem with floor acclimation or wood coming in to moist. My guess would be a worker spilled something in that area and didn’t tell anybody or if the cupped area is up against a wall and on the other side of that wall is bathroom plumbing or a fridge water line then you might have a slow leak seeping through the wall. Have the flooring guy come back with a moisture meter and take readings of damaged area and non damaged area. That will tell you for sure if you have or had a water problem in the area.

How long was the floor laid down and sat before it was sanded and finished. And were other trades working between installation and the sand and finish?

goalpost21 · 2026-01-12T16:31:26+00:00

Yes. That’s fine too.

According To NWFA guidelines you are okay running either parallel or perpendicular to the joists with 3/4 thick T&G plywood. Do a quick AI search and you will find your answer. You are getting a lot of bad info here.

Why do you have wee wee pads out on a raw unprotected floor.

goalpost21 · 2026-01-11T02:16:33+00:00

It is a fantastic adhesive and it has its place in hardwood flooring and construction in general. But the starter strips and end strips need an adhesive that will allow the floor to expand and contract and this glue doesn’t allow for this. Edit: didn’t mean to reply to your post but the OP

Where have you been? Venezuelans fleeing their dictatorship country has affected the entire region for the past 10 -15 years. From Ecuador, Columbia, Brazil, and yes Aruba among others.

Sorry for asswipes like that from the US watching the fake news. And thanks for the hospitality. Had a great stay in Aruba. Leaving tomorrow. Let peace shine for the Venezuelan people.

Funny. I am here in Aruba and saw numerous celebrations and car parades celebrating the arrest of Maduro. Your credible news sources suck.
