Hello:
I am new to the forum and have a question about installing a hardwood floor in what was formerly an attic space. Has anyone installed oak floor with a pneumatic nail gun over plaster ceiling, and have there been any problems with the plaster ceiling cracking/breaking? Our house is a 90 year old bungalow. First floor has plaster walls and ceilings - which would be below a hardwood floor we'd be installing in the former attic space. We are hoping for oak flooring over 3/4" plywood subfloor (also over original attic boards, not in good condition but want to leave). Would love to hear other experience similar to this, good or bad.
Thanks!
