Thanks for the reply Kevin. I have 145 cartons (45 each of 3", 4" & 5" widths) setting in the garage on plastic sheeting so if anything, they will be gaining a little moisture. On the subfloor, if I push the pins of the meter in just a touch (up to 1/16"), it reads between 7-10.5% depending on the location. If I force the pins in deeper (1/8" or more), it reads between 9-14%. The pins can barely make a dent in the hickory flooring and it reads 6.5-8% on the planks I checked. I don't want to over analyze things, which I have been known to do, but I don't want to rush them either. I have most people thinking I'm being to knit-picking and they want to move ahead. How can I speed up the process without going overboard? Am I using the meter correctly?
