Alright, thanks to all of you that have responded to my posts so far
I've gotten a lot of helpful tips and advice. I went to LL today and they actually told me that it was OK to use this liquid moisture barrier and the MVP glue to glue down 3/4 in. I told them they were full of crap and no installer would every do this. So I've decided to go with a subfloor. When I ripped up the old flooring I found that the concrete wasn't tension concrete so I can nail the wood into the concrete to create the subfloor! woohoo. I had the guy put down 6mil vapor barrier then cabinet grade 3/4 in plywood on top. When he put the vapor barrier down he didn't overlap all of the seams he just taped them together. I need to have him overlap all of the seams right ? Sorry for all of these rediculous questions, I feel that I know more about flooring know then the guy who's installing them! This guy also thought he could buy a moisture meter at home depot for 20 bucks....its amazing how little you have to know to be a liscence and bonded contracter. Does anyone have any experience with the felt pad that has a plastic moisture barrier on top of it ? LL told me i could use this instead of using the moisture barrier beaneath the subfloor. I decided to go with both so the layers will go. cement moisture barrier plywood felt moisture barrier wood Thanks Again! J. P.S. I'll post pictures of the finished project (if anyone cares). Should look nice with the new base boards too. |
