I used the Taylor T&G glue on 9 rows of boards yesterday.  Today as I was working in the next 4 rows, I heard occasional pops snaps and crackles as I walked across the floor. :D  I can't win for losin'. :D

Is it possible that ratcheting the clamps too tight might cause the floor to make those cracking sounds later?  Should I use the clamps to get the boards all snugged up, then reduce the pressure once I get the butt ends aligned with a scrap?    Oh well, not a bad noise issue, it just surprised me because I don't recall hearing noises on the Titebond side of the room.

I'm two rows away from the wall and it is ending up just as planned.  I'm gonna have to cut 3/8 off the entire side of that last row.   I cut less than 3/8" off the starting wall which is 19 feet away.   Am I good, 'er what? :D

The room is 19 by 26 with two floor outlets.  I did some shopping around and found some old looking but new brass rings for the outlets. The old ones were plastic and were chipped and broken because they were on carpet.... carpet I installed here 15 or 20 years ago.

Anyway, it's very slow going but the customer is pleased as punch....... and that's a good thing. ;)
