Q:Does anyone have any ideas or a process they use to clean their laminate floor so it looks good?

I have used the floor cleaners designed for Pergo floor, and find that they stink and do eventually leave a build up. The best thing that I have found is made my Pledge. It is a wood cleaner, make sure it says cleaner and not polish. Mist onto the floor and use a microfiber mop and clean the floor going with the grain. The cleaner leaves the room smelling good, and you can use the cleaner on other things in your home as well

Q:I wonder what the brokers on the floor at Wallstreet do? You know the ones that stand on the floor with different colored jackets shouting and screaming do?1. What does the color of the jacket symbolize (company, field)?2. How is any business done during all the mayhem?

the colour jackets symbolise what kind of stockmarket member they are. there are 3 types: Brokers(trades for clients), Dealers(trades for himself), Broker/Dealers(does both) as to what colours are used, and how many addiotional colours are used, differs per stock market. the mayhem is actually the business being done. people shout their quotes to eachother. a dealer for example, would shout a certain stock price at which hes offering to buy. a dealer would shout a price at which hed like to buy. we call this 'open outcry' which is the old fashioned way of doing business. theres also a newfashioned way, screentrade, as done on the tokyo stock exhange for example, this is where traders get their own terminal (pc) at which they enter their quotes. a certal server links, buyers to sellers. open outcry has the advantage that theres a lot of atmosphere, and you can 'feel' whats happening to the market. a disadvantage is, you need a lot of space to trade. (lots of people, lotso f room) screentrade has the advantage, that people can trade from anywhere aslong as they have a link to the system. this saves a lot of tradingspace. and thus money. the downside is that its very inpersonal, very static, and you cant really feel the market other than by looking atthe numbers. you can cmopare it to a fishmarket really, the marketsales men stand there shouting TROUT TROUT $1,50 A KILO!!! if they dont sell enough, they start shouting trout $1,49 a kilo!

Q:my house has not been redone sincve my parent bought it (the 70's i think) i really want to rip up the floors and lay wood floors and was wondering how i would get the old flooring off first. someone told me use an iron to heat the glue any other ideas

You can lay your wood floor over the vinyl tile, it makes a great moisture barrier. If you have underlayment that needs to come out before you lay your floor, cut it into manageable sections and pry it up with the tile on it. ( sometimes you need to take up the underlayment so all your floors match up.) There is usually underlayment between the tile and the sub-floor.

Q:What can you do to fix laminate flooring that has started to buckle?

Absolutely nothing. I have built homes for 17 years and short of replacing the damaged pieces, if it is a brand that can be partially replaced, there is absolutely nothing you can do about buckling laminate floors. The number one reason that floors buckle is moisture. I am going off of the assumption that you are not a complete slob and will not allow water to puddle on the floor. This leaves a humidity issue under the floor. You need to put down a vapor barrier under your flooring. This will help reduce the moisture that comes into contact with the floor and result in your floors lasting longer. If you are on a crawlspace, you should install solar powered fans at one or two of your foundation vents. This will decrease the amount of moisture build up under your home. If you are on a slab, you may have some serious concerns. You should contact a foundation inspection firm. They can tell you if a natural spring has decided to form under or around your slab. It's rare, but not unheard of. Don't waste time with this one. You may need to bore a drain hole under your home to keep it from floating away, literally floating. You should also check to see if you have a broken pipe under or in your slab. You can accomplish this by a pressure test. I am not sure where to get one, but you can purchase a simple tool that hooks up to your sink faucet. It reads pressure. Before you go to bed, hook up the device and turn that cold water lever on. All of the other water in the home should be off, including the lawn sprinklers. In the morning, if you have a decrease in the pressure at the sink of more than a pound or two, call a plumber. They can help you from there. God Bless

Q:Some guy who was walking on the ceiling today told me that he was actually walking on the floor. Is this true? Is the ceiling actually the floor?

Floor: The lower surface of a room, on which one may walk If you can walk on the ceiling, then it can be the floor. Since there would be no gravity if you're walking on the ceiling, then there would be no ceiling or floor, you're just walking on the walls.

Q:What brand floor did you go with? Are you satisfied with your floor?Most importantly for me is, how does your floor withstand spills, frequent mopping, & pet accidents?I want to install a floating vinyl-plank floor which has a natural wood look and feel, yet can withstand the abuse only a young puppy can provide.

There only one type on the market, that I know off, that will with stand that kind of treatment. Thats Traffic Master Allure. The seams, when put together, are water proof. Most all click and loc floating floors will allow water between the seams. It will then seep down and be damp under your flooring. The only other thing is full sheet goods of vinyl. I ve installed this several times, along with in my GFs boys bedroom. We just went through a spring thaw and flood in the base ment were his bed room is. Didn t do a thing to the floor. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL
