Jim, the floor looks awsome. I'm sure you'll enjoy it for many years. Its a great flooring.

Where do you get colored caulk that you mentioned above? I haven't seen that and I'm about to caulk around the allure flooring I just installed.

I got brown at HD, very close to the color, they also have cedar and oak.

There are usually a few stores in major cities that supply install materials to contractors, and they have a great selection of coloured caulks. Color Rite is the brand we use all the time. I probably have a dozen different colours in my collection now. LINK

Thanks for the info Jim. I found it on Amazon. A lot easier than running all over looking for it. They have a great variety of colors. You can custom order colors too. But they have a standard color that I think will work fine.

Make sure if there is no exact shade match, too err towards being a bit darker in most cases, especially with wood and tile textures.

Good to know. I was going to go with the darkest wood color they have, and now feel that's a good choice given your comment.

No nails or screws... nice. How did you attach the moulding? I have a Scamp with fiberglass cabinets. Not much wood along the edge of the floor. I've considered a flooring project like this but wondered how to attach trim.

I think I said I need to purchase 3 strips of moulding, it has not been installed. I will use an air stapler and attach it to the existing cabinet trim around the perimeter, again without going thru the floor. You can always glue the trim and if your cuts are good enough, just caulk will be sufficient.
