Q: One visitor asked, "I had a water line break on vacation and I am having to remove about 1400 sq. feet of floor. I have never done this and was wondering if you could help."

A: I usually cut the floor in sections about 3-4 feet wide with my circular saw, and take it up and bag and tie it row by row. You will need a hammer, pry bar and perhaps a larger wrecking bar would help too. The pry bar is quite good for pulling the nails that will be left in the sub floor. I would suggest wearing safety glasses when cutting the floor, since you will likely hit the occasional nail. It is going to be a real workout, but you have to get the floor up for the sub floor to dry and avoid mold issues.
