Float it. That way is will move and in the future when it comes down to changing it out, it will be easy to pull up. Those floors don't last long till they look like crap. A good one with high traffic has a life span about 7-9 years.

You should have picked a darker grout. even if you mix it incorrectly that's not going to affect the color of the grout
Ok so most grouts today are “true color” but not all. Too much water could screw it up. Yes you can stain your grout darker.

Will it be properly acclimated in this weather? Heater will be running, but AC has never run.
It will be fine. New construction generally is never acclimated correctly just leave enough expansion and cover with base board.
The heat helps though.

Glue down vs floating?
Floating is cheaper but I recommend glue down.

Wow.. 5 whole years huh?

What I posted is the warranty. That’s the dent threshold. BTW I’ve been in the business slightly longer than you. Good job with most of your answers but you weren’t close on this. Also the laminate question wasn’t as easily answered as you did. If the core has moisture it’s not laying back down. You should ask follow up questions

There’s a whole lot in new construction that shouldn’t go on in new construction, and this is one of them. One of the first things a manufactures rep is going to ask when a wood is installed is 1) whether it was acclimated according to mfg specifications, and 2) did you performa calcium chloride test, and lastly will be expansion and adhesive used.
It is very unwise to install any product besides perhaps natural stone and ceramic in an uncontrolled environment before, during, or immediately after installation. Wood is the absolute worst, but carpet can be affected as well when you lay when it’s cold and then when the heater is cranked on you’re left with wrinkles and a need for a restretch.
Don’t follow a GC’s lead on this. Follow the people who will be honoring a claim, the manufacturer.

What is the value of your home and do you still have flooding issues in your basement?
No flooding issues, it was a freak rain storm, and we're still going to expand the French drain to accommodate, just to be safe. And it's UT we don't really have any moisture issues. We had more rain in a 10 day period than we typically get in a year (minus snow of course).

My advice is dont put something down that goes against the character of the house. Go with warm light colors and add extra light anyway I could.
wood look tile would be perfect. its on the concrete so easy prep.

I have a hardwood gunstock oak floor (not engineering grade) and a few pieces have been damaged. Is there anywhere to buy just a few pieces without buying an entire box?
