new wood floor
#1

when laying a new wood floor how much space should be left around walls for expansion. i have been reading 3/4" that seems excesive.
#2


Your baseboard might not even be 3/4" How would it overlap?
I would not butt it to the wall, but would probably hold back "about" 3/8"
Does that seem more reasonable to you?
