Doug commented on the post, 7 Tips for Installing Solid Hardwood Flooring 4 years, 5 months ago
Hey there,
Great post for guys that have not installed floors often. One thing I didn’t see in the post was underlayment. It may be a regional thing. I usually use a wax/kraft paper under hardwood.While it may not be %100 necessary. It is a good idea. It allows boards to slide together easier during the install. This makes it easier…[Read more]

This is a great idea. Way faster than checking the whole room with a level. My only concern would be the cost. How much?

Doug commented on the post, BTP Review: The Bosch Laser Measure Tool – GLM 50 4 years, 6 months ago

It allows me to give the customer an accurate quote very quickly.
