A job in that old Portland bungalow made me rethink my underlayment approach
We were putting down solid hardwood in a house built in 1925, and the subfloor was a mess of dips and humps. The homeowner wanted to save the original fir, so we couldn't just level it with compound. My lead at the time, Frank, showed me how to use a 6mm cork underlayment with a vapor barrier built in. It absorbed the minor imperfections way better than the standard foam I always grabbed. Anyone else have a go-to product for uneven old subfloors?

Honestly, my first attempt at something like that looked worse than the original floor. Cork's a game changer for sure.
