    We are going to lay solid quarter sawn oak flooring over concrete soon. Our slab is less than 3% moisture content. The humidity in the house is reading at 45%. Our flooring is reading from 8% to 12%. Is this ready to go in any professional's opinion?

    Sounds ok to me if it's under floor heating turn it of 2 days before hand and gradually build it back up over a week or two

    Which ever the manufacturing instructions recommend don't just take some internet experts sitting in his string vest, underpants and socks opinion as gospel 😉
