[Taxminia0311]

Dumbass you must glue the engineer floor if your placing it on concrete such as a basement do you research

Been laying ALL floors for 27 yrs now! This is NOT how we do wood floors, not even close to a good DYI teacher but I do like that they are showing the wrong way how to do it, then the homeowner gets frustrated and calls ME! haha

The contractor was not "Lowe's" it was an independent contractor that is a thief.

My sister just payed $4500.00 CAD for laminate flooring. This job was easy.  The floor surface was a total of 400 square feet and a "trim" (the trim was $500.00 extra).

My sister did not ask me so she got ripped off.

[snyperkyzer]

@79Testo ..yes she was ripped off thouroughly!..the wood itself should have only been around 3.00 an thats for high grade 5/8s engineered wood! labor max, i would pay would be 500! period

PS; most women have Pride like that they will never ask for help!

@snyperkyzer

Did you mean the wood should have cost $3.00 or $300.00?

There is so much important info that this video doesn't cover, e.g., required flash times for some adhesives, whether plop & slide methods are OK, the ways to cure various problems you may encounter, etc, etc. Don't watch this video and think you can then go lay your engineered gluedown flooring without more research and knowledge.

@BAMAMARV Just curious, what would you include? Please be specific.

[BAMAMARV]

@donsjuand I'm putting together a video series on the various facets of home building that I will be offering on the web soon, hardwood will be one of them, so stay tuned to my YouTube channel for more info, also will be publishing my new book on how to build a home yourself at half its value.

even if the moisture is within the manufactures recommendations, temperature always changes in winter, summer, rainy days. You should always use moisture barrier before u install real hardwood or engineered wood floors.

[mtnprivy]
