I`m doing jobs for contractors that build new homes which some of the jobs I`m "forced" to install it even before the HVAC is working and of course the moisture of the plywood is about 15% or higher, which means there is 2 problems, here is my questions that I would like to be clear:
1) I understand that installing rifted and quarted is more stable, my question is: rifted and quarted over radiant heat versus plain sawn on regular plywood (not radiant heat) which one am I taking a bigger risk?
2)What I have seen in the past is that even you turn on the HVAC it could take weeks or even months till the moisture goes down (when they deliver the plywood it has moisture even the weathers are nice), what`s the best affordable solution to get out the moisture?
3) Is it better to deliver the wood and install right away before it picks up moisture or let it acclimate to the moisture of the plywood which is 15% as described above, please explain why.
