removing glue down wood flooring
Comments (6)Laurie, Thanks for the help, I'll look into renting something like that once I get the flooring up. When I'm finished, I will be replacing the flooring with Floating wood floor. I have used this in both my houses and I really like them. Very easy to install and I would think very easy to remove. You will hear a lot of people say it should hollow when walking on them but I haven't noticed that. When the room is fisrt done, it does have a hollow feeling when walking on it but after everything get put back on the floor it's fine. I would also spend the money on the more expensive stuff and not that stuff selling for under $1 SQFT. MY SOLUTION: I'm using a floor/wood chisel and 2.5 pound sledge hammer, floor is coming up but it's slow work. I'm about 1/3 done and I've got 3-4 hour into it so far. My room is about 12X15, maybe a little bigger....See MoreBest way to remove a glue down wood floor?
Comments (3)I had no idea how lucky I was to have it glued to concrete. I guess this means a trip to the hardware store to find a bigger pry bar--maybe mine is just too undersized. Well, while I'm doing jumping jacks on the pry bar, I'll say "at least I'm not replacing the whole sub floor". It's just another adventure in home destruction/improvement. Thanks for reminding me it could all be much worse. It just needs bigger tools! Of course, I am missing out on the chance to do some more destruction with the sawzall....See MoreRemoving 'blue goo' glue from brick?
