Sometimes working with an old house is no fun...
So, ask we toil through putting in this temporary laminate flooring, we discovered there was a reason we were having so much difficulty with boards popping loose and such. You know when you frame up a wall and there's a 2x4 on the bottom all the way around for the studs to attach to? Yeah...we don't have those. So we had to make all kinds of weird long spacers out of scrap wood so that we could have those press against the studs so all the crap would stop shifting. Once we figured that out, the rest has been running smooth. Of course, running smooth is a relative term. If you mean, smashed fingers and bruised knees from bashing them as smooth, then it went very very smoothly.*ouch*
