• Posted in thread: Insulating 2 1/2 story attic room--with Dormers? on 05-13-2013 at 10:32 AM
  I went through this about 2 years ago when I gutted and renovated a 1/2 story, including the
  addition of a large dormer. Part of my issue was that I could only get about 5" of insulation
  between the r...

  If someone is thinking of doing this definitely get the locking and floating type of cork they
  have at Lowes. Youll end up with no seams or gaps.The floating planks are definitely easier to
  install, b...

  Finished cutting and got everything glued down this afternoon. I ended up with 2 or 3 gaps that
  are noticeable to me, but probably no else. Poly tomorrow and I'll have the bathroom back on
  Saturday. O...

  Not a bad idea. Certainly worthwhile for the peace of mind. This process takes longer than I
  ever thought. I guess my cellar door, toilet alcove, washer/dryer alcove, and closet don't make
  it easy. Gl...

  I think I'll end up going with Fireguy's second suggestion: lining up the lines with the rest
  of the floor. I'll have to cut off a 1.5" strip from two full tiles to run down the right side
  and then I'...

  I like that advice, but I've cut too many tiles to start that way now. It actually came pretty
  close to turning out as if I did that way, if I'm reading your suggestion correctly. My only
  remaining pr...

  I'm off to a decent start, and so far I haven't wasted a tile with a bad cut. I'm now stuck
  trying to decide how to do the cellar door. I'll either have a small strip down the middle,
  like this: I co...

  Since posting this, I've realized that the wall to the right when looking in from the door is
  not even close to square. That's an exterior wall on a 110 year old house, so that's no
  surprise. Anyways,...

  I have my floor ready to install 12x24 glue down cork tiles from Duro Design. My bathroom floor
  is unique in that it has a cellar door right in the middle of it. Whoever last built a door and
  installe...

• Posted in thread: Question about underlayment for glue down cork tile on 02-11-2013 at 10:22 AM
  I believe they used a product like Liquid Nails to put the Luan down, so taking it up is out of
  the question, and it really doesn't look that bad. If the product nealtw linked to can fill in
  gaps and ...
