dealing with the DRIcore

We are doing at basemant reno and putting in a small apartment. For the flooring we are going with DRIcore sub floor (about 400sq') I have never worked with this before and was looking for some helpful advice. They sell little plasic shims for leveling but was wondering if there was something better to use. Also on this type subfloor does one just place tiles / laminate directly on top or do use a layer of plywood on top of the dricore?

Hello, I am currently remodeling a room in my house. The hardwood floor has a few spots of water damage that needs to be replaced. I already have the floor sanded down by 36 grit sandpaper, and the finish has been removed. I showed pictures to a professional flooring retailer and they believed it was red oak, that is also what I had thought. When you wipe the floor with a damp cloth the floor becomes darker. I received red oak samples, when dry they floor looks exactly alike, however when I dampen the floor and dampen the sample the floor becomes dark and the sample stays about the same color. I am worried that when I apply finish the original floor will be dark and the new flooring will be very light, making it very obvious. Am I correct on this assumption, or when I add finish to the whole floor, the new flooring will become dark just like the older floor. If it is not red oak, then I am not too sure what the floor species the wood would be. Becoming really frustrated with this.Read More

how to repair termite-damaged floors

We bought a bungalow in Florida this year that came with some termite damage to walls and floor. The walls I've taken care of, now it's the solid wood floor's turn. Knowing that I was going to sand back the floors, the home inspector we used suggested I keep some of the sawdust aside, mix it with some epoxy, and fill the damaged areas with the mix. He said that aside from the missing grain pattern it would blend in much better than any wood filler I could use. has anyone used this method before, and if so recommend an appropriate epoxy, and also a rough approximation of how much sawdust I should mix together with the epoxy? ThanksRead More
