  1. I just put down click-lock eucalyptus with a padded vapor barrier underlayment. I believe the directions on the stuff i got tells you to leave 1/4" gap from the wall so that's what i did. The wood that we used is HEAVY, i doubt it will move at all. Also, if your underlayment has an overlap adhesive edge to it make sure you lay it the correct way and lock them together. Here's the underlayment we used as a comparison

  2. For the first row, i used this simple formula so you split the difference between the last partial piece. The last thing you want is to get to the last row and have a piece that's way too thin so you split that difference between the first and last rows

  3. I skipped quarter round. baseboard is normally like .6" thick and i left a .5" gap between floors and wall per mfr suggestion. IMO quarter round is pretty ugly, worst case scenario, you can buy (or make) built up baseboard with "quarter round" that is squareish, but if you don't need it why bother? Unless you're not ripping the current baseboard off that is...in that case, it depends. I'd use finish nails, glue is messy and expensive. Nail at an angle so you don't split the molding and then use a countersink and woodfiller

    edit: also, not sure if you forgot to mention it, but i used [flooring wood glue] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003DKSWK4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I didn't go crazy with it, but i put a bead on each board (in the area where it locks together) in higher traffic areas/near sinks just in case something got spilled. I'm not sure how much it can prevent a catastrophe but for $12 it was piece of mind

I was pretty happy with these engineered wood planks from Lumber Liquidators (around $2 sq ft):

Used this underlayment (.32 sq ft):
