Flooring

Well it has been a while. I am in the middle....(perhaps 5/8s of the way) of completing the installation of a Brazilian Cherry 3/4" 3 1/4 " plank floor in the Living and Dining rooms. It IS a lot of work, and I have borrowed a Stapler from Dale at BWP, it is a Primatech, and I am not sure I like it. While it does staple a bit closer.....the staples that Dale gave me seem to be of a larger gauge then others I have seen, even if they are what is called for because of the Cherry wood being harder. What I do not like is that in some cases I see a little bulge in the wood ontop of the staple.....Dale says he has heard of that and that it may be because of the higher density of the wood...and no place for the staple to go. He suggested turning the pressure UP on the compressor maybe to 100 rather than the 75 to 80 I was using. I have and it has not gone away yet.....

So...all in all....I am not pleased....maybe I expect too much.

May finish tomorrow...or Saturday...nothing can be done I suppose.......sheesh !

I shall get Mark P's stapler soon...and try it I think...but it will be back on oak again..so the problem may just go away.
