Just starting watching a number of your videos and have to say, you really make it look too easy. LOL. What I like most about the videos is the no-nonsense approach. With that being said, when installing this type of flooring on a concrete floor, does it simply require the moisture barrier material?

As a professional there's so much wrong with this video. You should never lay along the same grain as the original floor & if you do a ply sub-floor should be installed in the opposite direction of the original floor boards. Where's the vapour barrier? Why didn't you remove the skirting boards prior to starting? Why use a silly saw around architrave when you can use a multi-tool? @23:00 you can see you damaged the board next to where you were sawing. This would never of happened with a plunge blade on a multi-tool. Cowboy job!

pull the baseboards off and skip the quarter round it looks a lot better and the quarter round looks terrible after it gets hit by brooms and other stuff in a few years. Also put a thin line of sealant on top of the base boards when you install them it keeps dust from getting in the crack and a quick wipe they look good.

I remember you doing a video where you where talking about the Pro/Cons of different flooring. But instead of really getting into costs, installation time, and difficulty removing/installing. You went straight into a miniseries about putting down flooring. I'm a big fan of floating snap in ceramic tiles that have "bumps" so they're not slippery. I have cheap carpet, which absorbs dust/moisture. Cheap laminate which expands and contracts from occasional water drops, cheap vinyl flooring that has dents/scuffs in it. Who knows.. maybe someday I'll finally pull the trigger and go for ceramic!

I was surpised to see the use of those small cuts at the walls. I've done most of the rooms in my home in laminate, and always planned out my layout to avoid using any boards less than 4 inches wide or 8 inches long. Most manufacturers suggest this. Also, having a pull bar and oscillating tool is a must in my opinion when doing laminate.

As always, your videos are informative and entertaining! I have been flipping houses for years and you are still the first one I go to for advice. Just last year, I watched your video on painting and it changed my painting world. Thanks to you and your crew for your outstanding presentations! FWIW, I started using my $60.00 HF wet tile saw, along, with a 4.5" carbide tipped wood blade, also available from HF, for all my laminate work. It's like a light and portable little table saw....I can keep it on the floor and drag it around the room with me. About 80% of the mess goes into the water tub. I would imagine if you put the blade hood on it would contain even more of the mess. I can do long cuts, crosscuts and even intricate cuts featherboard fashion or just scraping cuts along the side of the blade. Anyway...thought someone might find that useful. Thanks again!

I've done a lot of laminate over the years as a DIYer and it is a rally easy and satisfying project. It really transforms a room and doesn't require a lot of tools. If you do it yourself its really affordable and looks a lot nicer than old carpet or rolled vinyl.

I do believe that carpeting has to be the dumbest invention of all time. I'm replacing mine.

Excellent presentation to the whole nitty gritty!!! I enjoyed it very much and learn something that I was not quite doing in the past laminate installation. Bless your heart and your patience as well as your passion for the work you do. 💪🙏👍

I love everything about this video. One small thing to make it easier at 38:50: Cut your skinny wall boards and last full-width boards to length just like you did. Lock in your skinny wall boards in the full-width spot, lay your full-width boards against the wall, make a mark all the way down the wall boards that are locked in the full-width spot, pull them out and replace them with the actual full width boards. Prevents cutting too wide if the wall is bowed at all because your straight edge will always hit the wall at its widest point. Love your channel, you’re better than bob vila!

One tip that's pretty important, start and finish each row with no less than 8" of material! Anything shorter weakens the joints from weight of furniture or foot traffic
@ShadowDaNet 3 жыл бұрын
This is actually really confusing for me. His first 2 rows did not finish with 8 inches of material.

Great point! Thanks for sharing.
@michaelsherron7815 3 жыл бұрын
@@ShadowDaNet True, but as you proceed and you encounter doorways, etc. and you make your adjustments, you may find that your end piece may come up shorter than 8" so you may have to take a little off of the previous plank to make sure your end piece is more than 8".

Agreed! I can’t believe he put in that tiny piece in the second row. I would definitely not do that.

Great set of videos - came for the drywall, stayed for the laminate. Question - for the bedroom closet have bi-fold doors that sit in an upper and lower track. What would you do with the lower track (a) screw it to the subfloor thru the laminate which obviously goes against the idea of a floating floor or (b) stop the laminate run at the track and restart it on the other side of the track in the closet?

Aiming to put some laminate in an additional unit today. Didn't know what a dovetail saw was and didn't have a good idea of how to do transitions a long with a bunch of other things. Thank you!

Thank You so much for posting this video. You saved our project. We were damaging so many planks with the hammer and block method we were told to use by our big box store. We stopped in frustration after an entire box had been wasted. Your relaxed style, pro tips and technique gave my wife the confidence to try again. Only one board damaged after installing 11 boxes. Thank You again ... oh and we managed to use parts of most of the damaged ones to start or end rows.
