My concerns are....

1) I live in Toronto and the temps have been in the 20 degree Celsius
range since i bought the flooring. On Friday the temps are supposed to go
up to about 32 Celsius. There is rain in the forecast as well (I am
already feeling an increase in the humidity .. it will probably get worse
by the weekend). Having said this, should I now wait a little longer (I
have been told to avoid installing laminate in high humidity), or can I
proceed with the insallation on Saturday (temps are expcected to drop to
the mid to low 20s by Monday)?

If you were putting in wood, there may be a tiny concern. Laminate is not
going to be affected by rain as it is a pretty solid plastic, not wood. If
you are trying to put off doing the job, your wife will probably buy the
rain as an excuse, but the rest of us won't.




2) QuickStyle recommends using their underlayments. I was speaking to a
gentleman that works in the Rona flooring department and he said that I
don't necessarily have to buy the QuickStyle flooring. He suggested I buy
a Rona branded 4 in 1 product (this would be the same as a 3 in 1 but with
some added bumps or something that aids in covering up minor floor
imperfections). This product seems a little thicker than the QuickStyle
underlay. Would this be a problem?

Should work OK. I'd use whichever is the cheaper.
