In Reply to: OT: hardwood flooring? posted by mike henry on January 27, 2013 at 00:00:30:
mike henry,
I just installed over 900 sq ft of 3/4" red oak hardwood on a osb sub-floor and 15# tar paper as a moisture barrier. Lumberliquidators.com website has instructions online, which will help you determine installation method for whatever product you choose. Personally, I like the 3/4" product over the laminate. The house we just bought has a laminate product in the kitchen right next to the new hardwood floor and there's no comparison. The laminate looks "plasticky" and there's a major difference in how it feels when you walk on it. But...... the 3/4" oak requires more skill to install and if you get the unfinished (as I did) you've got to sand the floors and then finishing takes a day or so plus it takes up to 2 weeks to fully cure the finish. They do make the 3/4 in pre-finished so that's an option.
BTW, We were going to leave the kitchen alone as the floor is not in bad condition but after putting in the new 3/4" floor, we've decided to replace the laminate with red oak. The laminate product the previous owner used is not glued down. It's floating and it will lift right up with a shop-vac at the edges.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
