Okay, here’s my attempt at writing a blog post, following your instructions and example, about assembling LVL volleyball engineer board wooden flooring:

Alright, so I tackled this project – putting down this LVL volleyball engineer board wooden flooring. I’d done some basic flooring before, you know, click-lock stuff, but this was a whole different beast.

Getting Started

First, I cleared out the entire room. Everything, furniture, rugs, the whole nine yards. Then I gave the subfloor a good sweeping and vacuuming. Gotta make sure it’s super clean, otherwise, you’ll get bumps and weirdness under the new floor.

Prepping the Subfloor

My subfloor was concrete, so I checked it for level. Used a long level, and found a few dips. Nothing major, but enough to mess things up. So, I mixed up some self-leveling compound and poured it into the low spots. Waited for that to dry completely – took a good day or so.

Laying Out the Boards

Next, I started laying out the boards. The instructions said to leave a gap around the edges of the room for expansion, so I used some spacers to keep that consistent. I dry-fit a few rows, just to get a feel for the pattern and make sure I wasn’t going to end up with tiny slivers at the end.

The Glue-Down Process

This flooring was glue-down, which was a first for me. I got a good quality adhesive, and spread it on the subfloor with a notched trowel. The instructions were pretty specific about how much to use, so I followed those closely. Then I carefully placed each board down, pressing it firmly into the adhesive. It was messy, I’m not gonna lie. Glue everywhere!

Cutting the Boards

• I needed to cut some boards to fit around doorways and at the ends of rows.
• I used a circular saw for the long cuts and a jigsaw for the trickier shapes.
• Measure twice, cut once, that’s what they say, and it’s true!

The Finishing Touches

Once all the boards were down, I let the adhesive cure for the recommended time – another 24 hours. Then I removed the spacers and installed the baseboards. That really finished the look.

Honestly, it was a lot of work, way more than I expected. But seeing the finished floor, all smooth and shiny, it was worth it. Would I do it again? Maybe. But I’d definitely think twice, and maybe call in a friend to help next time!
