I’m about to install 400 sqft of solid ¾ pre-finished hardwood flooring in my kitchen. I have two layers of linoleum down in my kitchen and I was told by the Bella wood salesman that I can install the hardwood directly on top of it. Anyone have any experience with this kind of floor installation. I would like to remove the linoleum but I just know that the adhesive will almost certainly destroy the first layer of plywood on my sub floor.
I would also like some recommendation on flooring nailers. I see used models on Craig list for 150 bucks all the time. Since it’s such a small job I think I will just rent one at the Borg. I just want to make sure I get a good model so I don’t have to kick the cat out of frustration.
Thanks in advance for any insight you can give.
