Just a suggestion. When someone puts a thread in requesting some input for help doing a particular type of work, they include the area in which they are looking for help in so that people on one end of the lake isn't giving names for a person on the other end. This as I said at the begining is a suggestion only. Have a great day.

Maybe slightly off topic. (Lake related hardwood floor science experiment)

Few years back I did a bunch or research with laminate hardwood flooring suppliers and adhesive suppliers. The challenge was finding an adhesive that would survive the 100 degrees in the summer and -30 degrees in the winter without buckling or cracking in our unheated island camp.

To the adhesive suppliers credit, they all said this was not a good idea with their various products. What came to be the best option was to cover the floor with paper and nail the laminate (all wood) tung and groove flooring using a pneumatic brad nailer. After checking the status after the 5th winter cycle, I can report that the method has worked perfectly. Looks the same as the day we did it.
