Header or no header in new flooring?
I'm getting a kitchen remodel done, where the hardwood flooring in my kitchen is being replaced with red oak to match the rest of the house.
My contractor is asking me if I want to add a header here or not:

Note that there's a doorway here but no actual door.

>The difference would be if you put a header piece in there that runs against the floor we can stop and start the stain right at that point. If we finger it in to the floor, as if it were always laid like that, we will have to pick a point to stop and start the stain and it will be a bit noticeable. Either way will be noticeable, however putting the header piece in would be less noticeable I’m inclined to think to tie it into the rest of the floor at that doorway, instead of putting the the header piece in. The noticeable difference would be on the other side of the basement staircase instead of in the doorway. The noticeable difference will be old wood to new wood, and then also after wood is stained it changes color as it ages. That's why it's impossible to completely match it
I'm thinking the same thing as well, no header. What do you guys think?
