Todd Feltner We’re glad you was able to benefit from it and good luck with your project

Your welcome my friend

Jerrid Hawkins yeah You’re right, thanks for watching

Glad it was helpful

Gold Coast Flooring You’re welcome Nick, thanks for watching appreciate it buddy

Chocolate Cheesecake 😀👍

The same way

That’s great thank you

shawn moore Thank you sir

2doodledo 😂Oh snap, well I hope it turned out OK anyway

Do your best caulk the rest!

Jeremy Gibson I will trim this out with quarter round when I’m done

Awesome

They are definitely the best

I’ve had 2 pair in 30 years. The only time I don’t wear them is carrying material, moving furniture or installing steps. Best money I’ve ever spent

I will never go a day without mine. Life savers

Adrian Elliott Awesome, glad it helped

you use caulk instead of mouldings? that's hack work there.

@@jimbeam-ru1my Lol ok pal. That comment shows you're a hack. But yes....See professional installers will put a small 1/16-3/16 even gap (depending on the material) and chaulk it with color match at marble thresholds and sliders. Only HACKS cover everything with transitions. Hardwood I do a tight net fit in those situations but elv and laminate that's not possible. You probably work for lowes or Home depot 🤣🤣🤣....My resume speaks for itself pal. I've been in the business for 20 years, have done numerous high end celebrity homes/ multi million dollar homes on the ocean as well as top owner of a NFL team. I do high end installs as well as small jobs and take pride in every job I do big or small. For you to call me a hack is incredibly insulting cause im the furthest from it. But believe me when I tell you that your comment alone speaks to you being a hack. Keep on putting bulky transitions at every cut you have when not always needed. Some of us are pros that make clean cuts with small expansions and use exact color match where if you really were a pro you would realize you would never even be able to tell its been chalked. How ironic your comment is 🤣🤣. But I'm on IG if you would like to compare jobs/portfolios. I'd love to see your hack jobs filled with transitions at every doorway. Some of us as well as *customers prefer* to not have bulky moldings at sliders and marble thresholds where it's not needed. So you really put transitions at marble thresholds and sliders? Talk about HACK!! Haha! I'm wondering if you're a diy'er who just put a bargin basement laminate in and now call me a hack 🤔

@@jimbeam-ru1my Oh and for the record it's something usually discussed with a home owner and they usually prefer no moldings when they aren't needed in certain spots which I also agree that alot of times in those applications I discussed color match is a much cleaner look when done right. Maybe you're thinking of a wide, uneven Gap that I'm just chalking up but it's not that. It's a thin even clean cut that is very small and when you actually use a chaulk that matches the floor you will never even notice it and looks much cleaner and more finish. But you definitely triggered me calling me a hack but maybe after explaining it you understand what I meant better. Also alot of times with ELV, vinyl or laminate and going up to a marble threshold or slider a molding just doesn't look right or work or creates a bump up when it's not necessary. Plus then the ends of the molding showing looks absolutely hacked and unfinished when returns aren't possible. It's hard to explain but if you know you know. I'll do me and you do you 🍻

Floored Thanks for watching and I will really appreciate your comments, I love other people’s feedback

STOTS Thank you sir, I really appreciate you watching and even more so your feedback

😮😂😂you’re welcome

Sometimes you have to glue depending on the type of floating floors. The manufacturer will even recommend it for certain areas where you can't click in. It involved scraping the groove down to flat and gluing the connection, same for end walls where you may have a thin piece. You're not gluing the floor down, just the connection.

Thank you

Christian Wilson Thank you sir

Great vids though man. Keep up the good work.

Jim Scofield Thank you sir

Jim Scofield Thank you so much for your feedback, there are a lot of people who read these comments and then get more than one persons point of view on the topic when people comment, so thank you very much for your feedback

@@FloorsbySouthernboys you are totally right! I love how your videos trigger other ppl to share

So keep the one going in on top of the dummy board and have another one running along the wall?

@@joseb3025 so set up a dummy board just like he did, and then you take the board you are measuring and line it up right on top of the dummy board. Then take a small scrap piece and set it on top, pressed up against the wall and mark that line on your measurement board. It will give you a perfect line with the perfect distance from the wall to allow expansion. Also works with Laminate flooring.

@@joseb3025 and if you need to get it really tight, like around a fireplace or bath tubs, just line your measuring board up different. Normally you line it up lip to lip. If you want it tight, line the edge of the lip on your measuring board to the edge of the print. That will eliminate the gap you would leave doing it lip to lip.

@@bayallday510 I want to try this but how does this include the expansion gap if you are pushing the dummy board against the wall?

@@8bitheroes86 the big lip of the board will space you the 1/4" for expansion

yes carpet blades are sharper than utility blades

😀👍

😂😂

ccarn309ohio They are not, but I tried on some at the CFI convention 2019 and I love them and would love to have some

The transition between Flooring’s should be directly under your door when the door is closed

Yes I put a transition at the tub and you can work it backwards, at the tub I will typically use a rubber quarter round with a 3M adhesive on the back of it and stick it to the tub instead of the floor so you do not disturb the expansion gap. www.fbsb.store/moldings-and-trim

@@FloorsbySouthernboys I’m going with a transition threshold piece for the front of my tub area. Do you have videos showing you installing any small areas in a backwards direction? Like backing into a closet area. I’m looking at installing 1/2 smooth face no void plywood in all the areas that will get the LVP flooring, so that I can get it built up closer to the new carpet going in which is siting at about 1” thick with the 8 lb. rebond pad. Does 1/2” thick plywood sound like what you would do or go smaller? Thank you!

Did you find a good solution ? There’s a few vids out there, like for cutting of some of the tongue

Yes sir it is critical

@@FloorsbySouthernboys can you shave one of the profiles off on the length of the LVP? (Lifeproof) if so which one, I have an inside jamb transitioning from a hall to a bedroom. They dont want to set no matter HOW hard i pound 😆

Its possible with laminate, ive just havent tried it on LVP

CarpetMan Thank you sir

That's what I do also..either way works..great vid southern man!

Jeremy Gibson Thank you sir appreciate you watching and I appreciate your commenting

Jeremy Gibson A lot of people read these comments and get different peoples views and different ideas on how to do things so I really appreciate it

SUB floors You got it my friend, I was actually just doing that really fast for the video, I have vinyl plank cutters and such, I rarely use my knife anymore for vinyl plank, however I do use my carpet knife for almost everything else

I use a jig saw...cuts like butter.

@@StacyForest738 ya that’s a way and a messy way. The whole good thing about vinyl plank is no having to get up and down to make cuts.

@@3rdGenFireChicken Yeah but you really only have to cut the last piece of each row, unless you are at a door or something. Thought I am the first to admit, I am terrible with a utility knife as far as cutting fast and straight.

@@StacyForest738 well the cuts don’t need to be straight at all. As long as you’re baseboards or 1/4 covers the expansion you leave. I make all my cuts free hand simply because they do not have to be straight. Around the doors also can be rough cuts as long as you’re door jambs are undercut

vinyl plank

Could try cutting with a piece of card first then put on to wood and cut

Honestly it is easy I learned to Install it in a day.

Vinyl plank should never go under cabinets or vanities and those funny looking triangle things are called quarter round

@@FloorsbySouthernboys When on earth should they never go under cabinets? Sorry you have to make excuses for poor work.

@@BathroomSolutions1 read the specs on any floating floor, it cannot be fastened anywhere

​@@BathroomSolutions1 And you consider yourself a "contractor" yet you don't even know what "those silly looking triangle base mouldings" (quarter round) are called, seriously? WOW! Sorry, but I'd say it's time for you to just focus on solving a few issues of your own that need to be checked off first? Before you start coming at someone else trying to correct them on things you obviously don't know to much about my friend. What do you think? You got one thing right no doubt, you're definitely "Uber picky" just not in a good way. "Class Is In Session So Get Your Mind Right Cause Knowledge Is Power!" +Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul+

@@216Numbskull your user name really reflects your personna. i know exactly what they are called but the work here is extremely hackish. Sadly you have to insult professional contractors to cover for poor workmanship

King Tin Yes sir thank you for sharing that, I really appreciate everybody shared their thoughts and opinions in the comment section, that way others that read get To see other people’s point of view on things also

Yup

It might just be, but he's showing some great tips for us people who just want to learn

It looks way cleaner running through I try and use as few transitions as possible

Yes yes

Lee Arnold Thank you I appreciate that
