Chad Fabry Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Did she ever notice where she put the mop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Looks more like nipples than ripples. Seriously, if the sellers had been living there for many, many years they may have been so accustomed to it that they didn't really notice it anymore.

kurt Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 The guy didn't know how to fasten underlayment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI in AR Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Looks to me like what I'm seeing are countersunk nails/ hammer marks in the underlayment which the installer neglected to fill with compound before gluing the vinyl down.

Denray Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Seemed like the lumps were up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 They are. When you set underlayment, you should skim it with Jif Set or similar leveling compound so the nails don't show up like this. The slightest bump or unevenness will be magnified and accentuated when the vinyl is installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
