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

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

[snyperkyzer]

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.
