In Reply to: O.T.---wood flooring install posted by Jiles on August 02, 2018 at 15:08:03:

Many people don't realize that a house will
get remodeled several times in its lifetime.
The lifetime of a house can be hundreds of
years or at least several lifetimes of the
average human.
So it's important to Not think of your floor
or remodel as permanent. It really is only
temporary.
Some say, "Well, if it lasts for my
lifetime..."
But I say that's about as short sighted as
those who would scoff at recycling,
conserving resources and not polluting for
the sake of the generations who come behind
us.
I would never glue anything to the subfloor.
Ever. If the flooring product must be glued
down nail (or screw) an underlayment down
first and then glue your flooring to that.
I remodel for a living and am appalled by
some of the things I see people do.
Last spring I did a large (10'x12') bathroom
in a house that was homowner built. He had
glued a 1/2" plywood underlayment to the
original 3/4" subfloor then glued the
ceramic tile to that. The subfloor had been
glued to the joists which of course is the
recommended procedure.
To get a fresh base for a new floor I had to
cut around the perimeter of the entire
bathroom. Then the tile, underlayment and
sub floor had to be pried up in big chunks.
That of course splintered the tops of the
joists off and oh what a fine mess we had to
to remove it and how much extra work -
brutal work - we had.
Think of the sub floor as a canvas that the
artist can paint. He can paint over it
several times. Some famous paintings are a
painting over an earlier painting.
But if he glues stuff to the canvas the
canvas is ruined for future paintings.
If your new floor must be glued down to meet
manufacturer's specs insist that an
underlayment be nailed or screwed down
FIRST.
Personally, I would not use a glue type
flooring. A stapled or nailed flooring is
easily removed to reveal the original sub
floor and a new floor installed. And a new
floor WILL be installed. Maybe not in your
lifetime but surely in the lifetime of the
house.
Sorry this got so long but it's kind of a
pet peeve of mine.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
