Perce,
As you know, hardwood flooring moves with changes in humidity. There
are people out there who would not hesitate to call the company and
demand their money back if they saw slight gaps in their floor. So
the hardwood flooring companies protect themselves by saying things
like "the humidity must be maintained at 40%", flooring must be
spread out in a room for several days with the windows closed, etc.
Obviously, these directions are absurdly hard to follow, but they are
just covering their butts. If you followed their instructions, you
literally couldn't put flooring in a brand new house unless you had
the owners move in and live there a while. Provided you don't do
something stupid, like start taping sheetrock while your flooring is
sitting there uninstalled, you won't have a problem.
