Make sure that your flooring is sitting in the room to be done for 48 hour (or two days) so the that the wood will adjust itself to the humidity and temperature in the room

so over the holiday I was able to get a good look at exactly how we did the trim again, and I had forgotten we had put in both a cheaper molding and a wedge. It gave a nice toe to the baseboard and gave us more cover up room, plus it wasn't as expensive as a full on custom job

anywho GL and I'm expecting pics... don't forget to seal off like crazy before sanding... we left the hall open for very the last part of it and it wasn't a pleasant cleanup
