Your mind is in the "zone" here man I can tell. Totally engaged in what you're doing. I get the same way when roofing and making imperceptible adjustments as needed for the site conditions.

Thanks for the tips. I started a basement project that is any but easy. No two walls are square or parallel and there is only one wall that is actually straight! Using you tips worked out a layout that assured I had plenty of overlap around the edges so as not to have any factory edges finish on a wall or corner. After measuring, remeasuring and even dry fitting carpet tiles, I established reference lines using a laser level with 90° lasers. This was my starting point, Approximately 13 inches from the north south wall and 18 inches, from the east west wall in the main room/ hall, the longest uninterrupted path of the basement floor. I used 24 inch square carpet tiles for this job. The 13 and 18 inch are not arbitrary, this also centered the tiles in the main room. This kept all my straight lines away from corners and walls and put them far enough away that your eye doesn’t track down the wall to see just how badly out of square everything was constructed and avoided thin fill slivers alone the walls. The finished look was very pleasing.

Carpet tiles are fun, we did then for Shaw for years here in Dallas. How did you do major cut ins around walls, we concocted a piece of 3/4 plywood 20X26 and screwed a framing square to it buffered from the wood by 3/8 plywood so we could slide the tiles under and make straight cuts, It helped with real long runs along rooms and halls Soon as the main was laid, a helper would be behind us doing fill in

@@FloorsbySouthernboys Yes I finally found a video of you cutting in. I think if you try it you'll never go back Especially cutting I'm around soft black or brushed aluminum metal base. Laying the Microsoft building, I wouldn't allow anyone but a few cut in direct, replacing metal and marble thresholds get expensive

Hey Reuben this is Tony here in South Texas corpus Christi. I've been in the commercial and residential and commercial flooring business for 15 years.. mainly commercial.. I used to glue the whole room and let it dry a hundred percent like you are but an old school teacher of mine told me to lay it in semi wet glue. First thing I thought was the glue was going to see pup through the scenes but no timing is key. I tried it and it works perfect. seems close up so much easier and by the time you get to the fields it's already dry and stuck so you can make your cuts.

T Bird Yeah most of the time I will get tired of waiting and go ahead and start laying , only if it’s drying fast what I let it completely dry most of the time The glue is little bit cloudy looking. Thank you for your comment and sharing that bit of information, and thank you for watching

Semi wet with pressure sensitive glue is a permanent install flashing glue dry is a releasable install both are very good installs nice looking job

I have a plywood surface to glue to in an entryway. I was considering stapling plastic to the plywood surface and gluing to the plastic so that any removal down the road would be easier. Would you have a recommendation for this situation?
@FloorsbySouthernboys
@FloorsbySouthernboys 3 жыл бұрын
Yeah do not glue it to plastic, simply use lock dots or corner stickers, they are one-sided stickers that you would place a Corner of each tile on as you install it, so you would have for individual pieces of tile connected at the corner, if that makes any sense you do not have to glue it

I've just put some carpet tiles down in a small room using 2 sided carpet tape. I am no carpet fitter by any stretch but thought I'd have a go. Unfortunately some of the tiles have moved slightly so there are some small but unsightly gaps where they should be joined together. I can't take them all up unfortunately so need a quick fix. Is there anything you can advise to fill in the gaps? Thanks.

@@richardmoss9188 Ok fair enough, but he did previously and the floor was already glued. Cant use a chalk line. You can't account for every wall. Only thing if he started right in the middle of the narrow hallway in between the two bigger rooms, but no one does that, you want to start in a bigger section. He definitely is a great floor layer for sure. Actually too good sometimes, on that carpet tile job guarantee 9/10 installers would not have even floated that entire floor with prep. Lol Now It's hard to tell in video so maybe it was a lot worse in person. Anyway he goes all out which is great to see.
