Leveling high-spots on OSB subfloor>

I neglected to properly check for level-ness in the MBR where I started putting down laminate. Now 2 rows squeak & have two or three boards with visible gaps...

I have three other large rooms to do also but I know I have areas to level... What is the best way to take down the floor where joints come together? Alll my problems seem to be where the T&G osb comes together. I thought about sanding but nails are in this area... ideas? time to cough up the $3k labour to get it done?

Thanks.

Have it professionally done and the responsibility shifts to the contractor.

Rent a machine and sand it your self and save a big part of the $3000.

Heat Registers/Vents router or cut?

bpevans on Feb 23, 2004

Doing 1100sqft of my house in KronoSwiss laminate flooring. Since I'm a rookie I decided to do the MBR & WIC first to pickup some experience before doing the main part of the house. In doing the MBR this weekend, I noticed that the two rows of planks that had the cut-out for the heat register were particularly trouble some. two little gaps opened between two of the planks. They're small but visible so I'd like to avoid redoing that mistake in the main areas. Should I cut out the boards for the register when laying them. Or is it easier to lay the floor over the vent and then come back when done and drill / router the hole for the register? Thanks.Read More

Anyone heard of Dream Home Utopia laminate flooring?

I'm just wondering if anyone has heard of Dream Home Utopia laminate flooring? It is 6mm thick and only has a ten year warranty. I know there is better stuff out there, but at $.99 a square foot it seems very economical. I will not be living in this home for more than 10 years (probably not even 5) and need a cheap alternative to my trashed berber carpeting. Looking for some good advice Thanks.Read More
