I'm doing a house that has 3 floors 3rd floor has wood and I sanded it already 2nd floor had wood and I added about 400 foot, wood is 2.25 inch red oak, i received it last week at 7,8,9 percent moisture, subfloor was between 8 and 10% so I went ahead and layed the 2nd floor....bottom floor which wood subfloor sits above ground and has plastic over dirt underneath,the subfloor is two layers of plywood and moisture was between 12 and 14% I prepped and layed 15 lb felt paper then racked floor and let sit for one week now and I just checked wood moisture and it is still about 8%, I want it to be 11 and 12 befor I nail it.....what's the best way to get some moisture in this wood in a reasonable amount of time?
