Re: Controling Bugs...Help!

Honestly, I buy what ever is on sale. They are commonly packed three so if i buy a couple I am set for a year. I don't do anything to my skirting. I remove a panel and just slide it back in after I set off the bug bomb. Make sure you follow the directions. Down here it is mostly an electric market s...

Re: Controling Bugs...Help!

Good Day! Take the Home Defense a bit farther in your application. Down here we have palmetto bugs, ants, including fire ants and unfortunately cockroaches live in the soil.

Actually resilient flooring is not recommended over luan as a rule. There are many luan manufacturers from other counties that use exterior glues and there are wide varieties of qualities and species.

RE: Bathroom floor question

Hey Steve, I can't see the pic, says unavailable, but considering the information in Yanita's reply you have particle board (?). As Yanita says, best case... tear out the particle board and replace with approved plywood sub flooring. If not, approved underlayment panels are the best choice. Luan is ...

Hi, Actually you should only use a vinyl glue. Lowe's does carry this, in my market as small as a touch up tube or a quart. I would not use a caulking product. It is generally when you don't use the correct materials and methods that you get in trouble. There is also a special double sided vinyl tap...

RE: My floor is floating!

Hey there, If the vinyl is original it is most likely a perimeter bond. Actually the factories don't use glue as a rule, the vinyl is stapled in a corner, stretched and the opposite corner stapled, then the other two corners, then the walls go on.
