    Thank you everyone for making this the talk of the town today!

    terry_cloth is going to skewer me for the bastardized fix, but thanks to everyone's input and a little of my own ingenuity I've got this thing done!

    It turned out to be easy, free, and most importantly, saved me a trip to home depot.

    eryx's photo of the pliers bracing the nail while the hammer pries it out was the game winner. Using that technique the suckers popped right out. I would have never known to do that if I didn't see a photo of it.

    As for the liquid nails, I opted for Goop instead. It's kind of like shoe goo, or this product I used to use called E6000. I'm familiar with it, and I'm comfortable with how it works, so that's what's most important. And the stuff is strong as all fuck once it sets.

    So now the board is back in place, the glue is drying, and heavy objects are sitting on top of it while everything sets. Also note the beer in hand.

    I. HAVE. MADE. FLOORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The beer in the photo is unopened, and I'm busy as hell, but screw it, I'm opening this thing because it needs to be done.
