Installing a Pergo floor in my living room (Part 1)

[RedanWhiteRebel]

Great job Chuck...looking good.

[suburbanryder]

@RedanWhiteRebel Thank you bro.

[RC62]

Looks like your having a bit of fun there Chuck. lol

I know Pergo looks good, is easy to install, and is durable but personally I like solid wood flooring or ceramic tiles. A lot of folks like it (and I am not putting it down in anyway) just not for me. :D

Hum... maybe you can teach those cats to snap the pieces in place as you cut em. :D

[suburbanryder]

@RC62 Belive me if I had the money and energy I would do full oak panels myself Rob.

But this is within my budget and ability to get done on time.

[mcgrawtim123]

Looks very good! Well done. The cats always like to see humans working. It makes them feel superior I think.

[suburbanryder]

@mcgrawtim123 Streak is overjoyed to see me working, so she is rolling back and forth with joy. LOL

[Hank2wheels]

Nice job Chuck, course you couldn't have done it without your assistant.

[suburbanryder]

@Hank2wheels Absolutely. LOL

[navythomas8]

As for the painting part, Chuck is having a "BYOB" party, "BringYourOwnBrush," party, that is.

[suburbanryder]

@1954shadow I could do the stick of dynamite in the can of paint trick. Works on cartoon shows.

[SalaciousShadow]

looking good chuck... that flooring totally transforms the room. cant wait to see the finished product.

[suburbanryder]

@SalaciousShadow I will be finishing the main floor today and installing the trim. It really looks even better than I hoped for. :)

very cool vid.  thanks for sharing Chuck and please keep us updated!

[suburbanryder]

@1toomanyhobbies Sure will, part 2 coming soon

[BeePeeOilDisaster]

Looks like ya need to touch up those walls with a coat of paint then it will be perfect, something to think about before moving the furniture back in there... I could see allot of dark scaff's etc... You could paint that room in a matter of an hour or two and for that its worth doing for your brand new floor... Great job...

[suburbanryder]

@BeePeeOilDisaster That is the next project for that room.

You probably could see where I was using dry wall mud below the window.

I changed it out for a new size energy efficient one.

[BeePeeOilDisaster]

@suburbanryder - You are doing a great job, it looks really nice. Sometimes it helps to have others give advice, once me and a frind put a lift kit on his new 4 x 4 truck, we were working in his garage and when we were done we realized the truck was now to tall to drive out of the garage...lol... Point being it would have been nice to have another set of eyes there to say "Hey, wont that be to high to get it out of the garage?"... I am waiting for your next video...

[p0kerp1aya]

Looks great Chuck! I never quite figured you to be a fellow cat person. Always good to have helpers. LOL TC bro.

[suburbanryder]

@p0kerp1aya If I could live on a small farm I would have lots more than four cats.

I also have two dogs. A Papillon and a Collie / Aussie Shepherd mix.

All my animals are rescue animals.

[p0kerp1aya]

@suburbanryder Wow! You've got a full house there. We are down to two cats now. We lost Dusty last winter. Dusty was adopted from the Humane Soc. Sandy is from a local area farm, and Shadow's mom was half feral. She had her kittens and lived under the front porch of this old woman's house on the edge of town. The old woman feed them milk daily. We got Shadow when he was just 4 weeks old. (far too young)

Looking good!! 

[suburbanryder]

@britex3186 Thanks bro.

[ToastToGo]

Very nice! I did this at a friends place. I need to do this at my house.

[suburbanryder]

@ToastToGo It is a bit more expensive than tile but much better looking. I wish I had the money to do it in some other rooms too.

[jasongiddensviper478]

I love Pergo.

[suburbanryder]

@jasongiddensviper478 Some people say the store brand is just as good but I didn't want to take the chance.

I went to the Pergo class years ago for the glue together kind.

I think it is a premium product that is worth it to me.

[1954shadow]

@jasongiddensviper478 "PERGO," the adult version of "LEGO."

[suburbanryder]

@DarkFlight600 For the midwest they recommended 72 hours to let it sit in the room before installing.
