Answering your questions and comments:
– Yes your North is actually north so that’s good– Yes I’d like to avoid transitions. Pretty much the reason I hired you! (Thanks for this service by the way)
– Yes my name is Jay and Scottys is name of the street in the the address of the home
– Yes I want to do the island/kitchen last as the timing on trades and inspections there is unknown and I’d like to get flooring/baseboards/etc completed in the rest of the house while I’m waiting
– Seems to me that I should lay the boards E <-> W so the long side of the board is going the length of the hallway. If you disagree let me know but that seems to be the best approach.
– I think my preferred layout direction is starting at the NE corner bedroom. Some things to think about with that approach.
1. The kitchen area where I need to go around island an cabinets has to be done backwards. Is that a huge problem or just a minor annoyance?
2. How much of the section from Hallway to the West do I need to do to be able to wrap around to the Den (with the double doors facing W). I guess I’d need to extend one or two rows from the hallway all the way to the West wall and secure those with scrap? Or can I wrap around without extending the hallway all the way to the that far West wall?Some more questions:
– Ignoring the slab moisture does the bit of padding provided by QuietWalk help with the “feel” of the floor? Does it help make the floor more less tolerant of imperfections?– In the hall bathroom I pulled up linoleum. Much of the paper backing of the linoleum hasn’t been removed. Can I put the flooring over that paper? It’s a pain to remove from the slab. I did remove it elsewhere (master toilet/shower and laundry room)
