couldnt sleep either gary?

Well, I am a bit of a night owl sometimes. But also, this board is on east coast time and I'm on west coast time. It's a 4 hour (or is it 5? ) time difference on the board.

I dont know, I have mine set to central time

Makes sense, thanks for taking the time to explain all that out! Once I fix this mess I will give it a shot.

I learned a hard lesson today. PL400 does not pry up. At least not with a layer/ply of plywood subfloor still STUCK to the bottom of the boards being pried up. This is gonna be ugly. Hopefully I can shingle/shim/paper the grooves back up to level/flush, and hit studs with the staples.

So frustrated right now. (Yes those 2 boards plus the one behind it had PL400 under them).

I don't understand why you are gluing the flooring down. If it was being installed under cabinet toe-kicks or thin pieces against the wall, that I could understand. What is your reasoning for gluing the flooring down right there?

I guess I read some things wrong...I was under the impression that when the flooring stops in the open like that, that I was supposed to glue it down there. Only explanation I have I guess is that I misread/misunderstood. I guess the glue only applies to stair nosings?

Yep, and the other areas I mentioned.

I like to use glue on turned boards, under cabinets, nosings, along angled walls, and in strips along pulled walls.

D'oh; now I'm being told 2 different things.

No, it's consistent. Where you placed glue under those boards you are now removing, was not mentioned by me or Jay. Jay just adds to my list of places to use glue. It wasn't needed where you used it. It's ok, just not needed. It would not have mattered if you were not trying to remove and replace those ripped boards.

Oh OK gotcha. I got my 90* laid out, and working on putting down the rows for that now. We shall see. I mistakenly ended one board near the edge of a shingle, so it has to step up onto the next shingle and left kinda a high edge on that board. Now I know not to do that again.

Looks like I actually did something right; I was a bit nervous 6-8-10'ing this thing out square.

Starting to run out of room to lay out all the un-nailed flooring.

I also need to figure out what to do with that floor vent. I don't know if there is something I can do with the tile that will be in the kitchen, or if I should just close it off. There will be an island near it, I don't it will be on top of it though.

Looks really good! nice miter cut I know its splined together

No. I should have used the damn biscuit joiner I bought though at least on that mitered corner. 'Twas a PITA to shim the boards so that they would be just right. GRRR.

Next time next time. I need to get that bit that will let me make tongues and grooves.

Oh I thought you already had that bit, and used it on the angled doorway
