Hello, this is my first post.
My wife and I bought a great little 62 year old craftsmen home about a year ago. First thing we did when we got in was pull all the carpet and refinish the red oak floors. Now I'm putting in mdf baseboards and oak shoe molding.
Anyway, my question is this:
As one would expect, there is a gap between the bottom of the wall and the oak floor. In most areas I can see subfloor (looks like 2x12s running diagonal) in the gaps just past where the oak floor ends. And in a few spots I can see dirt foundation through the gaps in the subfloor boards. Hopefully this makes sense. I was wondering if it would do any harm to spray expanding foam in the wall/floor gaps. Something like "great stuff".
Thanks
