DIY. It's over a dry, insulated and finished basement. I'm planning on 15# felt which apparently minimizes squeaks. Double layer to level up the transition. Gonna use 2" 'L' cleats.
The living room is 12' wide. I'm told the joints between T&G (2.5" wide) will usually accommodate any shinkage and expansion if not installed too tightly. The base moldings are 1 1/2" wide at the bottom so there's plenty of room for expansion around the rest of the room. Would I regret actually butting the floor right up against the tile?
The plan is to finish the stairs (risers and treads) with the same flooring stock (glued) which will be a challenge. I got time to do it right.
Thanks Ben!
