When cutting plywood or other types of sheet wood, take care to protect the finishing face. To do this, if you are hand sawing the wood, have the finished face of the wood facing up. If you are using a power saw, have the face downwards. This will help to protect the face from possible damage.

When installing wood flooring in a home, purchase it at least several weeks before you are planning to install it. Keep the flooring bundled tightly in the room in which you plan to place it (at least in the same area) as this will allow the wood to get used to the humidity in the room. Otherwise, it may buckle on you later.

Do you select stainless steel or full steel nails? Although stainless is good for other products, do not consider it for nails. These nails are much more expensive than your steel nail. In addition, they are less strong than standard nails. Although they are rust proof, you may loose this benefit in their inability to keep you within budget.
