So, will the first humid summer be the test?

I grew up with 2" oak totally face nailed. It's fine. That's how it used to be done isn't it? It was solid of course, not engineered.

How much do you charge per foot to install hardwood flooring? Nail down and glue down.

How much do you usually get done in a day. How many men?

A 1/2" is pretty wide.

They face nailed the last few boards at the perimeter. I bet they're not using an angle nailer. Just their nail gun I think. There were problems renting a nailer....

They tried stapling but switched back to nails. It may have been a Bostitch nailer. They seem to have more than one gun. It's engineered oak.

How much space do you leave in front of the stone...

A couple other questions.

1. Is gluing down a floor faster?

2. Do you use stainless steel nails for face nailing around the perimeter or other problem areas that call for a face nail?

I believe it's a PowerNail model using 1 inch nails, every 4 inches. What style floor? Hm, how would that matter. Other than 2-1/4" red oak. 3/8" thick, I'm not sure what you mean. Except for...

Sorry, not enough info. I meant to note that it's 2-1/4 wide. Set length of boards is 42. Variable length pieces being cut for the ends. Nail gun.

It's an Anderson floor, glue/nail/staple.

I see. I was just asking the question generally, so wasn't really directing it to the original poster. I wouldn't expect them to be around any longer.

Is there a problem with doing this?
