many of the private sellers i think that used to be here with the old style market place, i don't see here often...but i think i was seeing them a lot over there. i too was able to purchase some really nice stuff through those pages.......

ok i lifted the end of one of the boards that's on the high spot. the high spot is right on the main beam running front to rear in the house. i believe that even if i were to pull this up, and replace it, i'd still have that high spot. i bought a small laser level, to make it easier to measure the difference in heights. i was way off on my "guestimation". it's only about a half inch. i'm guessing my best bet's gonna be to use something to build it up. was thinking of doing the plywood idea one of you guys mentioned. it doesn't hafta be pretty. it just has to be level and secure for the laminate. again, thanks for all of the advice guys, any and all is welcome and appreciated!

i was considering buying till i saw the prices. went and looked on craigslist...and even those are stupid expensive. i'll check with voorhees hardware tomorrow to see how much to rent......

i'm glad you guys warned me. i was looking at the laminate at home depot....then mom told me she'd seen a flyer in the sale papers for lumber liquidators........

looking at prices on floor sanders........holy shit. if i were gonna try to lower the high spot some by sanding....wonder how i'd make out with a handheld sander?

who makes it? i ain't finding it on a google search?

yes. the joists run east/west, the flooring runs north/south.

you would be correct. i just came up outta the basement. where that hump is is where there's a main beam that runs from the front of the house to the rear of the house. right about where the stick in the picture is sitting on the hump, there is a support post from the basement floor to the beam. that is also where it's the worst. as i move towards the front door(about 6-10ft behind where i was standing when i took the picture) it gets flatter. just beyond the top of the picture is the kitchen. that floor is flat as can be. like imentioned before, on the other side of the wall on the left side of the picture is my bedroom, and on the other side of the wall on the right is my living room. there is no slope in the floor in either of those rooms, confirmed with a level. i guess it looks like i just need to build up? the low areas, then a thin sheet of ply, then the laminate? someone above had asked why i chose laminate......a few reasons. first and formost, i'm a careless fuck. from everything i can find, laminate stands up to abuse pretty well. secondly, i like the hardwood look, and so does mom(scares the shit outta me when she agrees with me, lol). laminate can give me that look, for stupidly cheap. easy maintenance, and easy assembly too.

thanks guys. the hump doesn't move. when i was hammering some of the staples down, it sounded solid on the hump. boards move slightly on either side of the hump though. i'm gonna go down in the basement tonight to see where this lines up.

DUMB QUESTIONS what's skreeding? what're rips?

the floor is tongue and groove. the old style. i pulled everything off of the base floor, and it's the floorboards themselves. it's about an inch to an inch and a half. i want to put down laminate, and need to level this crap before i can do it. i'd expected to find that the plywood that was laid down on top of the tongue and groove(sometime in the 60's) had warped....but it doesn't look like it's gonna be that easy......

hi guys. doing work in my house. it's a 1900 era build. built by drunken monkeys snorting crack while on a bad lsd trip. anyway......setting up to do laminate flooring. pulling up the lineolium to check on the plywood that's on top of the old/original tongue and groove. in the hallway, the tongue and groove is high in the middle of the hallway. how the hell do i level this shit out? thanks guys

make them go through their OWN procedures to get it back when it's found. to the letter. just as if they were a civilian. that said......i'd turn it in if i found it.

i hope you recorded that conversation(nj is a 1 party state), 'cause what he told you is i think illegal.

i'm a dumbass. fucking stupid stupid stupid mistake. scanner id'd misfire #5. most every car that would mean #5 cylinder. volvo apparently didn't get that memo. volvo computer means #5 in the firing order. that would be cylinder #3. i KNEW i was overlooking something stupid, and now i'm pissed off at myself for this.........

good points.......

i thought airsoft wasn't considered a firearm?

and this one's pissing me off, 'cause i can't find info.....and it's making me feel really stupid.

no. when i replaced plugs, i tossed a new coil pack on #5, 'cause the intake's gotta come off to do them. still had misfire there. used a noid light to test injector pulse, which was present. yanked the fuel rail, and swapped #'s 4 and 5 injectors. the misfire remained on #5 as per the scanner data showing me the misfire counts

checked injector pulse, and it's good.

i've got spark. i was able to confirm that with the intake off, just cranking. i forgot about cam lobe wear....it's been so dam long since i've dealt with that........

hey guys.....my turn. got an 05 volvo s40. code 3502. no p-codes, just that one. car has a dead misfire. looking at data on scanner, i can see #5 cylinder misfiring. pull plugs, and they look shitty. install new plugs, and one coil on that cylinder, since they're all under the intake. re-start, and same shit. this is a dead miss, single cylinder. i swapped injectors, and i ran compression test on that hole. it was 150psi cranking. can't get running compression due to intake being off. none of my shit has any really comprehensive diagnostics on that code. i know there;s a couple of you that're shop owners, and a few others that work in the field. what the eff am i missing?

sounds like alt. like i said before....remove belt, start engine. no noise, then spin each accessory by hand. you'll feel the bad one.
