  • Good stuff dominick . I'm installing mine this weekend and this was alot of help . I noticed you didn't use glue or nails . I was advised to glue at least the joints and for a better job to glue the whole thing to the floor . What do you think ?

  • @BretFart Never glue a laminate floor.

  • Great video! Quick question, allow 1/4" or so for expansion on all sides, correct? That will be covered up once the quarter round or baseboard is re-installed, allowing no need for glue or nailing at all -- correct? Thank you in advance!

  • @bassin1217 Right.

  • Just a quick question. Was there a reason you installed it lengthwise on the shorter wall? I thought installing it to run the length of the longer wall, and also with the boards running towards the window, makes the room look more open and less "chopped". Was it just a preference?

  • @StaceyMilo2011 Well for one, what you really dont see is that I also had to attach it to a existing laminate floor. But other then that, no reason at all.

  • no moister barrier ?

  • You look familiar to me.

    You look like one actor from the X-Files movie series.

    Is this you?

  • @DominickDiy Ah, ok. Makes sense. Thanks!

    

  • @ThisIsEri Oh very much so. Just take your time and go slow.

  • You make this look sooo easy. I am thinking of replacing my carpets because the previous owner didn't seem to mind living in a house that (doesn't reeeek) smells like a bit of cat pee..... :P Is it really this easy? Could one girl do this, none of the guys in my house are very handy/care :P
