@nefhead but what if the floor absorbed some Unsightly fluids? Then you’ll wan to completely replace the floor! Laminate is easy, cheap, and convenient!
WOW that one guy looks almost like Mel Gibson!
Nice work
on a different note; I just love the way the brits talk. It is almost like they are tasting every word
Shouldn’t you be on Homes Under The Hammer? Eh ? EH????????
TIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Free floating floors are a pile of shit, and that bamboo crap scratches really easily. 3/4 ” thick nail down, last a lifetime, can be sanded and refinished.
thank you
Good work
Good question about joints breaking, but this tends not to happen because each plank moves a tiny bit transferring the pressure to the next board and so on. The floor then moves as a full plate into the gaps left (if the gap is not left then the outward pressure of the plate meets the wall and the floor will buckle at its weakest point, normally where there is least glue and towards the centre).
if you glue them when the wood planks expand and contract wont it break the glue joints ?
you guys dont know how to cut 45 degree angles. im surprised
Did you not nail the underlining to the floor underneath?
