Greg, How much extra cut in depth did you add under the shoulders? (to allow for some float) A general question: is there any concerns about putting heavy stuff on floating floors given that they are supposed to "float?" The vinyl planking is going to have appliances (washer, dryer, stove ...

What's the quickest, least expensive and most secure way to fix this?
