Subfloor/Porch diamond pattern

I would like to paint my subfloor and porch in a diamond pattern. Is there a quick way to determine the size of the daimonds?

If you know how wide and long your porch is and you know how many diamonds you want, then it is all mathematics.

Laminate floor in basement

M

mreloc on Jun 24, 2003

Well, I just dragged home 700 sq. ft of Quick Step 8mm laminate- and [B]now[B] I start reading the forum...backasswards.. Anyway, I'm planning to install in a basement on an epoxy-coated concrete floor in good condition ( I still have to check for evenness). I plan to use the separate pad with poly barrier attached for the installation and plan to overlap the pad and duct-tape. I chose this floor since the manufacturer warrants 25 yrs even for use in wet areas (bathroom) when following the prescribed installation instructions/materials- I am not installing in a bathroom and my basement is not prone to leaking or other moisture problems. Question is, since basements are more humid in summer months, is it a better bet to install under those conditions so that future buckling is avoided or should I wait until Fall? For that matter, am I asking for trouble installing in the basement?Read More

Polythurene problem on wood floor

I put polythurene on my dinning room floor. I followed the instuctions to a 'T'. The first two weeks the floor was beautiful. Now, however I notice that there are some large spots that have a whiteish color and my floors are a dark brown. These spots make the floor look terriable. What caused this and how do I correct this problem? I need help fast as we will be having family here next month. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP.Read More
