Upon installing (or more accurately trying to install) a floor this
morning, pieces just wouldn't clip together. Occasionally, they did,
but this seemed to be whimsical. Tapping it together did no good
whatsoever. It was maddening!

Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong - and I *know* I'm doing
something wrong.

The wood was leaning up against a wall in their boxes for all of 24
hours, could this be it? By laying flat now solve the problem if this
is it?

Thanks in advance...



Got 15 boxes of it sitting on the floor right now. Haven't got to it yet
so..

Not sure what's inside as far as instructions but did you see their
online version?

As you know now, it's supposed to be stored flat. Also it's suppose to
be stored in the environment it is to be installed in for 48hrs.

Instructions say to store flat only 3 high. They were loaded up pretty
high on those pallets at the store though!

Curious to know how you make out. Please follow up.
