Stained and crowned hardwood floor concerns
Comments (12)Nope nothing in the box that could have leaked. Plus the box doesn't have any discoloring to it at all. I figured moisture would leave some kind of sign. Nope house is on a slab so no way to see under it. Man I always thought a house on a slab was better than a house on blocks but I'm seriously reconsidering now.... I plan on tearing it up but not now. Maybe in the next couple years. I did have the siding and plumbing replaced and the back of the house had a tarp on it and maybe some rain got in? I just don't want it to get any worse I guess is the thing but I don't know where to check and hate to just start tearing stuff apart......See MoreHow to properly install wood floors-Cupping concerns
Comments (8)If, they nail it, yes, the plastic will be compromised. No point in adding it, then. Method 1: (2 1/4" total build up) If, plastic will be used for vapor barrier. Grind and levl slab, lay plastic onto floor and up the wall 6-8", float two layers of 3/4" advantech over the plastic: glued and screwed 1 1/4". Then glue and nail assist the 6" live sawn oak. Alllow 3/4" of expansion gaps all around: 1/2" under dry wall and 1/4" under base boards. Trim plastic. Method 2: (3/4" total build up) If, you don't want the extra height. Grind and level the slab, Gaps, cracks and corners should be caulked, apply 2-3 coats of epoxy primer (Sikabond or Pallman) onto flooring and up 3" of base of walls. Then using a glue rated for 6" or wider solid flooring and glue the "live sawn" down. Allowing 3/4" expansion gaps Your only issues will be moisture from above. Climate control will still be needed....See MoreBathroom Flooring Concerns
Comments (1)Use large format PORCELAIN. Do not use a glossy tile. Use rectified porcelain for small grout lines. Hire a very good tile person. Do not use real marble, unless you like etching and permanent stains. Your kids will get pee on the floor and spill beauty products and permanently etch/stain any marble....See More2 story home renovation floor plans! All suggestions welcomed
Comments (8)Regarding the master bedroom floor plan. You have extended the wall across from tv so entrance to room you have to make a little zig to enter room. Maybe wall has the be there for structural reason so I don't know if reason. I would not put in that wall so more of a straight entrance into room. It would make it easier to bring in furniture or anything else. It would also allow you to have a larger clothes closet. If you do have to keep that wall be sure to purchase a split box spring for bed so you can make that turn......ask me how I know that... I had to exchange a box spring once and get a split box spring to get it into a bedroom because of a turn it couldn't make....See More7 & Done
