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 - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
