Having replaced the carpet with flooring, one thing to be aware of, when you add depth to the flooring it will make it very hard to replace the refrigerator. It's a tight fit between the floor and the top of the cabinet. I put the floor down without adding the luan, had a piece of rubber trim at the edge by the fridge and had to remove it to get the old fridge out and the new one in even then it was tight.

Thanks, I have had that experience already ...but I accounted for that when I put the new fridge in 2 years ago...it was slightly taller than the original Norcold and I had to cut out about 1/2" along the top of the cabinet flange to get it in over the carpet. Once it got past the edge of the carpet it dropped down to the floor and I almost had a gap along the top edge...no screws were holding in the top flange.
For this remodel I will have 2 layers of luan under the fridge and that raised it perfectly to the top of the flange and will allow me to slide it out onto the new flooring without issues.
I love boat projects!!!
