I am helping install Bruce Hardwood (solid wood) T & G floor in a bedroom this weekend. The hallway is already done (several years ago), and they want the planks from the hall to match the planks in the bedroom. So strting at one end and working to the other probably will not guarantee that the planks will match. There is no threshold, just regular T&G plank at 90 degree was used. I am thinking of starting at the planks entering the room, this way, they will be lined up. The question is, when I start going the other direction, I can just put the planks groove-to-groove and start going the opposite direction? I have done this before, but only for short distance entering a closet. Do I have to worry about the groove-to-groove boards cupping because they are not installed groove-to-tongue as usual? Should I try and glue togther? Thanks...

I am in the process of replacing carpet with a laminate floor on the second floor of my house. I want to replace the carpet on the steps. Can I install laminate there also??? Mike
