Blueprint Request
Attached is our floor plan and photos. All flooring, the carpet and foyer hardwood is over our basement. The LVP to white tile transition into the kitchen is over a slab. Areas of concern in my mind are, the round areas at the bottom of the stairs, trimming around the fireplace hearth. Floor squeaks in a few places, how to fix that, pad underneath recommended?
We are ordering Adura Max Napa Spirit. Grain of the planks going from front door into the great room.
I am sure I will have more areas of concern once I get demo underway. Not sure which transitions I will need for the great room to kitchen tile, and fireplace if it can not be undercut?
Good luck healing!

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. Ordering the Adura Max Napa Spirit tomorrow. Should be here next week. 6 wide by 48 long I believe. North South orientation, you are correct. Fort Wayne IN, here. Close to 70 deg today, I rode my bike to work. I will pull up some carpet and get closer pics and measurements of the tile transition and fireplace. I will probably demo the whole thing at once. We just painted, and will be removing all baseboards and going with at least a 6 inch baseboard. Home built in 1993, Framed by the Amish, basement has a suspended ceiling.

Also, where the stair carpet meets the new flooring, is a transition needed? I only just started watching the videos.

Thanks. Few things.
1. you are not charging enough.
2. I watched the entire blueprint and I missed how I make sure my last row up against the kitchen tile is not a one inch strip of plank?
3. Kitchen tile is just barely over 1/4 above the subfloor. I think T will work. The ceramic tile into master bath however is 1 1/8 I am going to have to do some leveling up to that area for sure. Fireplace pics added.
4. Starting demo this weekend, thanks for your help.

Hope your PT is going well. We did our demo this last weekend. All good. The only tough part was that the foyer/hall/closet hardwood was glued directly to 23/32 OSB. No underlay was used. Short sighted lazy construction. I got the floor up, with an air hammer and a lot of anger. Now I have a chipped glue mess. Not sure how to proceed. Grind the glue off and fill/float. Grind and overlay or just replace the OSB. Which I am getting a bid on. No hurry, I have plenty of work to do.

You could skim over that using henry’s 549 to make it smooth. It will probably take a couple of coats.

Joe, update and question. Leveling and quiet walk is done. Disappointed that about half of my rolls of quiet walk were different widths some 35 3/8 some 36 1/4 Someone got lazy at the factory.
Question on starting my first row. I carried over 10 planks into the entry / coat closet to the master bedroom, 58 11/16 and drew a line into the master BR. I have a vent along that first row. I think I want to start in front of it. It is 126 1/2 from my line. 21 boards is 123 1/4. Should I start there? I can fit two boards behind it leaving a 3/8 inch gap to the wall. I can not leave a 2-6″ gap along the wall without moving my carried over centerline. Which would then jack up my foyer symmetry. Photos attached. Two other vents by the window I can more easily deal with.

Thanks, that answers my question. I will start my first row just in front of the vent.
I can always just cut a thicker mdf baseboard for that gap, or use a quarter round on that wall if I have to. It is behind a king bed mostly.
