Pro Tip: It is easiest to glue the Nosing onto the Floors
now (see page 10), but it takes more space. The Nosing
is vulnerable until the house is built; the floors can't be
stacked or moved without great care. If you have lots of
space to keep the floors safe and to lay them out for paint-
ing (see Section 4), attach the Nosing now. Otherwise, keep
the Nosing bundled and protected until the house is built.
