The guy who wanted me to install over a wet subfloor in Portland

I was on a job in Portland last month, and the homeowner, a guy named Mark, insisted I lay the new vinyl plank right over his basement floor that was still damp from a leak. He said, 'It'll dry out under there, just put it down.' I had to explain that the moisture meter read 18%, and that's a hard no. Ever have someone try to talk you into something that would clearly ruin the install in six months?

Eighteen percent? He thought that was okay?

That mindset is everywhere now. People just want the quick fix and ignore the cause, then act shocked when it fails.

Ugh, I've definitely been guilty of that myself!
