I got some flooring in today. This time I got a different kind of pergo. The planks are beveled. It's called "Potomac Hickory". I think it is the best choice I've made so far. I also decided:
- To *not* take out the underlay foam under the carpet.
- To *not* take out the floor trim, and am going to put quarter round instead on existing floor trim
- To *not* take out the carpet nail strip things as they are evil
- I *did* install the vapor barrier
This is making it much faster and simpler... and I think it's okay if not better.

If you don't remove the underlay foam, the wood floor will rot from moisture, from the bottom up, and create a football field sized sinkhole under your house and neighborhood. But...the carpet nail strips will most likely keep everything from caving in.
I actually decided to take out the carpet foam because I tried walking on it and it seemed too squishy for "Potomac Hickory"
The whole world hangs in the balance of every choice I make, from what flavor toothpaste all the way to what retirement plan I choose... and the fate of my children rest on my hands!!!
I took out the carpet evil things.
