But I'm not sure... I'll hope somebody else chimes in on this. Agreed, that left over crap has got to go... right away. I'll keep eliminating variables until the gap in readings gets as close as possible... |

Ever wonder why the bottom of mobile homes, trailers and manufactured homes, have under pinning, attached to the bottom of the floor joists?? It works. Your scenario above could be said for wall studs in an exterior wall.

Re: Acclimation Trouble... This Is Beating Me Up.
At least your going with a harder wood! Braz. Cherry has a tighter grain and may not expand and contract as rapid. Yes, I would remove from cartons and rack it out to acclimate as long as you can. Standard woodfloors in the Midwest for 72 hours and harder wood in your case, keep testing the moisture every couple of days until it max's out. Let the moisture barrier run up the walls a couple of inches and cover with the base on completion. I agree that rift & quartered woodflooring in your region would be the best, what you got there is good.
That's my 2cents Ron T |

This would be a vermin barrier not underpinning which refers to the support of foundations. And it is not a vapor barrier as it would be on the wrong side of the insulation and cause condensation in the insulation and reduce it's efficiency and create possible rot problems. |

Re: Acclimation Trouble... This Is Beating Me Up.Quote:
Just like the studs in the walls will rot under the same conditions, right? Most of the trailers I have had to crawl under in my lifetime were underpinned with 8-10 mil poly, sealed at the seams. Then skirting installed without any vents. Condensation is going to depend on the dew point on the interior side of the plastic.
