Hallway - wood floor laying

We began preparation for laying oak floor in the hallway, following instruction provided with the wood.
The first pack was laid using pva wood glue, type D2, but the foreman (hubby) wasn't too happy with the adhesive quality, so following a trip to Homebase, and some internet research, we laid second and subsequent packs of flooring using Evostik pva glue with resin, which appears to set within 8-10 minutes, and gives a stronger bond.

Using tools bought especially for the job

The flooring is now completed in  the hallway
