I think I'm watching my in-laws' contractor do just that right now on their security cam. How likely is it that the floor Ends up with problems?

If the flooring was stored in a climate controlled warehouse, does it need to acclimate?

Or no matter what it needs to?

Type of wood? Where were they made? Were they stored locally for any period of time? You fapping to Hispanic labor, baw? So many questions.

Just keep the evidence. If it causes problems I don't see how they could deny it's their fault.

Huge deal. I'd march right in there and slap Pablo right upside his head with a 3-foot stick of Stain Grade Quarter Round. But then again, I lack self control.

Main problem I see is the warranty might be invalid if something does happen.

i don't think its a big deal, great if you can do it, but if not it should be fine, especially on a remodel. It's more ideal in new construction IMO.

engineered doesn't need to acclimate, take it from Home Depot and get to work
