Wood floors and a lakeside climate
East Tennessee is humid and subtropical, and Lenoir City adds a lake on top of that. Boards swell a little in July and shrink in January, so the details of how a floor is fastened and spaced matter more here than in a dry climate.
We check the moisture content of both the wood and the subfloor before a single plank goes down. If readings are off, we wait or adjust the plan rather than hoping it works out.
