I'm getting ready to install a floating hardwood floor in two adjecent
rooms seperated by a standard doorway. The rooms are normal sized,
have a rough concrete slab floor and baseboard radiators.
The flooring will be toung and groove.
Does anyone have any suggestions, warnings of pitfalls or whatever to
make the job go more smoothly?

TIA and wish me luck.

Hardwood or engineered wood? Can I assume this is OK for over a slab and has
the proper barrier?


Most likely engineered. If it has no barrier, I'll use 2 in 1 or
whatever that plastic laminated
to foam is called.
Already have knee pads.



If all that is correct, you will want the right tools like knee pads and a
dovetail saw to cut under the door jambs. Don't even think about starting
without knee pads.
