With patience and attention to detail, installing a new wooden floor can be an easy home improvement project.
Step 4: Line up the starter boards. With the snap line in place, set down the first line of starter boards. Check that the width of the molding will be wide enough to cover the inside edge of the floorboard. In this particular case, a bowed wall requires the starter line of boards to be one-quarter inch closer to the wall. Line up the entire starter line to prepare it for nailing. Make sure the molding will cover the inside edge of the floorboard.
