I wanted to get some pictures of the process of the floor.
This is the end of our stack of flooring.
This is how the planks look as they are laid out to mix up boxes and vent.
This shows the paper underlayment. It's a silicone vapor barrier. I!m mystified why I need a vapor barrier between upstairs and downstairs when there is a big open staircase connecting it. But I'm trusting the folks who write the manufacturer's recommendations.
Then to make sure it's good and flat we put weights in the glued portion to keep it down as it dries.
We're going to return 5 boxes of that because we have less waste than their calculator expected.
The last bit past the paper gets glued. It's crazy stuff that looks like a mix between cheez-wiz and caramel sauce. It stinks like crazy but is supposedly low VOC.
