this morning because my hubby set a big sack of frozen potting soil by the patio door to thaw (so I could fill the deck railing pots to put my Christmas greens in). It thawed and the first two rows buckled. About 10 squares. I put a fan on it to dry it out hoping it would go back. I am wondering if I should put some weight on it to flatten it but don't want to trap any moisture.
I have looked before to replace and extend the floor but didn't find any matching pattern so that's not an option. They were installed in 1986 when the house was built.

Help!
Don't you just hate DH..... It will dry out and should go back down...
How about some ceramic tiles along the patio door....
Depending on how tightly the floor is installed, it may not go down on its own. You may have to end up replacing those pieces or gluing them down, unfortunately. I'd go with removing the section right by the door and putting down ceramic, personally. I've never understood having parquet in an entryway, especially in wet climates.
The patio door only goes to the second story deck, no traffic. He put a bag of frozen potting soil on the floor without thinking and it thawed. The room is not big enough to introduce a third flooring, it has parquet and then carpet. But it still hasn't gone down. My husband said if it doesn't go down he will take up the first row by the door and shave it to fit.
