Happy 4th Timmy, one suggestion on the wood floor is to alternate the seams, so you don’t have a straight line going across the room more of a random wood pattern. House looking great.
@c-cothr9750 3 күн бұрын
I agree. If the seams aren't staggard, they pop eventually, and it will be a huge mess to deal with.
@nicko5945 3 күн бұрын
Amen! I don’t like telling folks how to do things but they desperately need to be staggered. Not only for strength, but it just objectively looks so much better staggered.

@ryanjones9705 3 күн бұрын
Please do not lock down the flooring. Even with trim. Those floors are meant to “float”. If you lock them down you run the risk of bowing as the floor changes temperature. I learned the hard way.

House is looking great floating floors not supposed to be attached to the floor plus did you read the instructions and see if you can have a continuous seam I’ve laid 100 miles of that stuff and I’ve never seen it run like that. I hope it works out for you. You might have trouble in the long run.

Exactly this, you need to cut books so the seam stagers. Definitely going to get a creaking floor!

That place is looking great Timmy. Crazy how heavy that stove is. Before I sold my house I had to replace the aging over the range microwave. Well, it was only me so I grabbed the 2 1/2 ton floor jack, put it on top of the range and lifted the microwave up. Good fun. Anyway, great content and keep up the awesome work.
