Also, I needed to cut around the radiators and such - and it needed to line up perfect, otherwise the rest would be all screwed up. Anyway - more to be laid today, after I get off work. 🎻 ---

A couple buddies helping you out should be good. Warning - don’t feed them too much alcohol, otherwise you might get a crooked floor lol (we were drinking huge cups of vodka while we were doing this, got a little tipsy) Patience is very very key… ---

They have engineered wood too, that has a MUCH thicker top layer that you can actually sand down - but it’s also at least 2x as much. When you’re talking hundreds of sq ft, you’re talking a lot of money lol. Seriously, you need at least 2 people to do this, because you have to connect ALL of the laminate row and with a second set of hands, it tends to go in a lot better, a lot straighter… ---

:tup: it is a 1 bagillion% upgrade to the previous flooring. So, its laminate, but it doesnt look like its going on anything but padding? Did you lay down plywood first or something? It looks really thick for laminate alone. Or, what it actually looks like is plywood with laminate on it cut into strips? I can’t think of any more questions, I don’t think? I am going for a record do you think I am close? etc? etc? edit: did you try looking at that bamboo flooring? its not too costly and looks pretty stellar, our kitchen is bamboo floorz :tup: ---

Nice!. I went with laminate in my hallway, and bathroom. The kitchen and living room were all ready done by the previous owner. Installation was literally a snap. The hardest part IMO was measuring and shaping the pieces that needed to be up against a wall or door or whatever. Hey Daddie did you make sure to leave a small expansion gap between the wall and flooring? ---

Reason it was so expensive cause we choose santos mahagony which comes from like brazil or something so it was more than the other woods. Plus we didnt install it so labor costs. But it really makes the difference in a room. Same with crown molding , that can really bring a room to life also.
