Price of a Bluebird

[Howard O. Truitt]

Donald and All,

I am removing all carpet from the house and rplacing it with wood. I have concrete floors. I plan on putting down a vapor barrier and a layer of cork and floating the floor over that. That should muffle the sound of the floated floor. I'm planning on ordering enough wood and corkto do the Coach also. That should insulate anddeaden the road sounds in the coach. Since the coach has plywood underlayment I did not think it advisable to put down a moisture barrier between the floor layersin thecoach.

Hi Howard
I know I'm not Ernie or Leroy but I have been working with wood all
my life. In my 89 SP I put down Bruce 3/8 th inch prefinished when I
got my coach. I noticed after a year i cold see the wear from a little
moisture & general usage. We were particular with it too. I glued it
down. Two years I put 3/4" X 5-1/8 " with aluminum oxide finish on it
in my house. I got rid of all my carpet. I liked it so well I put it
in my coach. I used a screw called a trim screw. They took a #1
square head bit. I predrilled the toung & then screwed it down. It
isn't as fast as gluing but not near as messy & if you want to take it
up all you have to do is unscrew it. When I took up the Bruce floor it
came up in splinters other wise good for fire wood. We have had it
down for two years & it looks like new.
