well if u did ur floors sober maybe it wouldn't take ur dumbass 15 years to learn how to do floors

[mrzeppo1]

He did check the moisture content of the floor before starting. It clearly didn't need a DPM or he would have used one. If you can read you should have noticed the caption about moisture. He also levelled the floor at the point it needed levelling. Then he did a first class job of installing a wood floor - NOT a comedy of errors!

Did you know that primer (not DPM) is good up to only 4%? MS Polymer will also cope with 4% moisture in a screed if fully bonded, maybe you need a bit more schooling?

we call them mickey pins and u will need a few of them other wise if you fail to do this i almost guarentee you will have imense issues down the track for example LIFTING OF THE FLOOR.

u also failed to make sure all the boards are hard against eachother so there are no ugly gaps also on the end joiins. unless the boards are not toungue and groove then i would apolagize ... i feel sorry for you and ur customer

[zehMATTmeister]

but that is the least of this guys worries as far as his floor lifting is concernd. have you ever heard of hollow spots? you are laying on concrete not chipboard genious. this guys biggest mistake is he is not nailing all the hollow spots where the boards arent quite hitting the glue ( this happens because in a typical concrete slab the slab is not flat)

[zehMATTmeister]

wow!.

you have got to be the biggest moron i have ever seen., either you are a complete retard or you just have alot of money to waste on timber(OR BOTH) NOBODY TAKE ADVICE FROM THIS VIDEO.

first of all i noticed the direction you were gluing with your terrible trowel. ALWAYS GLUE THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF WICH YOU ARE LAYING YOUR BOARDS OR YOU MAY VERY WELL FIND THAT YOUR FLOOR WILL LIFT AFTER SOME TIME.

@Gerone1 Rewmar MS Polymer adhesive is flexible, contains no moisture and allows for seaonal movement of the wood. If there is a moisture issue with the concrete then the floor should by coated with a suitable DPM prior to installing the wood floor

@163churchhill Yeah that is the way they used to do it in the 1970's...things have changed...the glue has advanced greatly in the last 40 years. It is a water proof sealer, flexes for wood expansion, is anti fungal, anti microbial and holds so well good luck if you have to take it out.

Most of these glues...like Bostic and others have a 30 to 40 year warranty. This is the preferred method for professionals...it is so nice to actually be able to seamlessly transfer from tile to wood.

Feel sorry for anyone who has to tear that out later. Should have used less glue running perpendicular with the planks at the ends and maybe in the middle depending on length. Still holds it down, but isn't a disaster later when the homeowner has to remove it.

[ltitruck12]

how did you figure on out if your board were straight did you go by the backwall??

[Gerone1]

Concrete and Wood expand and contract at different rates in addition to absorbing ambient moisture at different rates.Glueing both together can cause warping issues.

[YoBootyStinks]

Wonder how did his back feel after all this??
