    Hi Johnny, I'm a brand new subscriber and I live in a Mobile Home. I've been replacing all of the subfloor, only one small bedroom left to do .😁😁🤩. I found a 8 or 10 inch channel lock pliers worked best to remove the old Staples. I grabbed the top of the staple and just pushed the channel locks over the round part and it pulled up the staple with little effort. Just another idea for anybody else to try if they have this kind of project to do. I appreciate you including your mistakes or things overlooked, so we don't have to go through the same setback during our project. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and videos Rodney

    • @wilfdarr
      @wilfdarr ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes it depends on where you are. I'm guessing he's in a climate where the vapor barrier goes on the outside to keep the outside humidity out of the walls (where I'm currently at this is the situation). But in the climate where my rental property is at, the vapor barrier is on the inside to keep the moisture from inside the house from condensing in the walls. Ask someone who knows local code before you do this. Also of concern is what is underneath: floors over a crawl space, finished basement, or concrete pad (if you're doing hardwood in the basement for example) must all be treated differently!

    I have installed hardwood flooring before. I love the Flooring Jack. Next time I install hardwood floors, I am definitely going to get one of those. I think you could use it even for stubborn boards that long and just a bit warped. You could put a long 2"x4" between that far wall and the flooring jack, cutting the 2"x4" to length as you go. Every hardwood flooring board could be in tight.

    This was a great video for me to confirm what I was planning to do was pretty spot on. My project is a little more involved since it is a dining room, living room combination with a long hallway in the middle. My issue was that I wanted the flooring centered down the hallway so it took way more planning and measuring in 2005 build raised ranch that for some reason doesn't have any straight walls! Gotta love builders that can be off by almost 1/2 inch from one end of the hall to the other! Thanks for the video. Hoping my extra measuring pays off!

    Instead of the flooring jack, you can cut a piece of flooring diagonal, keeping the groove side, and then cut a piece of plywood angled and sized to the gap to act as opposing wedges to close up the gaps. The groove protects the tongue on your board.

I learned that from a seasoned pro and what a difference it made for me when i was doing it ... great looking floor though...

    @mikedrever7760 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks for the video. The one thing that I would suggest be done differently, is your first row. I wouldn't offset from the sheetrock along the whole length, but mark an offset at the each end of the wall and then snap a line. I would place the tongue on the line and follow it for the first row. The sheetrock along the length of the wall can fluctuate and not be straight.

  • @scremingwhisper1720
    @scremingwhisper1720 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    A faster way to step the stairs is putting some rows on the ground and then using the cuts to start the next row. Also you can use a small cut off to hit the flooring piece your installing and it gets a tight line and it's it's nearly impossible to damage the flooring because it's being hit inside the Grove. Another recommendation is getting a stainless steel prybar it doesn't have paint so it's less prone to damage the wall when removing base.

    Hi, I work for myself, and something I had learned from a fellow contractor was to use the wide shakes of siding cedar wood shakes as spacers. The reason I am mentioning this is that having asphalt shingles in the house is not such a good idea. Because they are tar based products. And cedar is just wood and I would use this instead, for health reasons, for my installs.

    I would have put a small bevel on the ends of the baseboard where they meet the door casings. Gives a cleaner look with a nice reveal, and you don't have to worry about them being flush.

    Shingle scraper took our moulding and tack strips out a lot faster and easier. Long handle was nice.

    As a 10 year installer we put plastic then felt paper to reduce all moisture

    Only thing I do different is using felt instead of vapor barrier. I like to use vapor barrier for laminate jobs. You didnt cut any corners, nice work.

      Vapor barrier for naildown, plastic foam for laminate.

    I had a room that had a similar problem with electronics. I made and installed a temporary shelf as I was going to paint the room later.

    You can drive a nail set into the subfloor and use it to pry the pieces together. Ive never used a jack personally

    Surely putting a.plasric.sheet under solid wood is going to trap any.moisture that gets underneath? Then it will just be absorbed by your new flooring. Wood needs to breath and if you've got moisture coming up from the foundations to your subfloor you've got more problems than a plastic sheet will solve.

    This video was good but twice as long as it needed to be. Also liked how you hit the flooring with the metal end of the hammer instead of using the safer plastic end.

    I would use const glue on the last rows as the braid nails alone used aren't sometimes strong enough..great floor
