Totally Floored

I assembled the replacement floor nailer and recommenced installing flooring in the hallway.  Here's the final row of felt paper, which provides a vapor barrier as well as some cushioning:

The sheet metal at the top of the vent was too bulky for laying floor boards, so I decided to cut the excess with our tin snips.  Awkward angles for cutting, but I eventually got it trimmed to the surface.

The next step was to make some custom cuts in the floor boards for the vent.

Just one board to spare!

Tomorrow, we will clear a path for the delivery of our counter tops.
