Any ideas to correct this
This is a picture of my dining and living room flooring, where in some areas, not many, a corner of the laminated floor strip at a corner pops up. I was thinking of a nail, but it would have to be a special type of nail for an area like this. I need a floor guy or carpenter to suggest the type of nail to look for and where to get it. Hopefully, it would not show up.

Poor installation? Warping floor? |

Sorry, i don't know how to upload a pic here unless i have to go through the mess of uploading it to a photoshop and give the url ...hasn't Google gone beyond that by now, at least in this forum? as far as why, how about age of that flooring? Do not want to go thru the time or expense to remove it and reinstall a new flooring. Thanks |

This "forum" is not a forum, and it has nothing to do with Google. It's a Usenet newsgroup, part of an international peer-to-peer messaging network that has been in place for several decades. The only connection with Google is that you can read and post messages through their web interface, but they are only one of thousands of existing Usenet services. Google has no more say in how Usenet is run than any other participating news server. One of the features of Usenet is that no binary files are allowed in text-only newsgroups like this one. If you want to share a picture, you need to upload it to a web site somewhere and include a link to it in your message. |

Email list-server groups and USENET are like having all of those newspapers delivered to your door every morning. |
