I'm about to install a 5 1/8' wide; 3/4" thick; tongue and grooved SYP floor...do I need to add tongue anf grooves to each end? Thanks!

End matching is not required with flooring. However, you may need to square the ends depending on the milling.

Thanks for the feedback..there seems to be a diff. of opinion re: this...I would think that end nailing is unnecessary...others feel strongly that the ends have to line up with the joists and face nailed??? Has anyone not end nailed and how did it turn out?? Thanks!!!
