Not trying to start a flame war here......We've got a bout an inch and a
half difference between the original hard wood in our dining room (110
year old craftsman) and the multiple layers (elcheapo kitchen laminant
over very thick plywood--installed by a PO--over the original hardwood
floor) on the kitchen floor. Even with a transition piece of wood, it is
a pain and does not look right. Do yourself a favor and try to avoid
this approach.
