@jameslawless9819 3 года назад

Just put down 900 sq ft of vinyl plank flooring. This is what worked well for me. Instead of using those aggravating little black spacers that never stay up I used a couple pieces of scrap 1/4 plastic strips cut 1 inch wide and four feet long. Instead of using a tapping block and a hammer I used a 1x4 cut 24 inches long and took the plastic handle off of an old trowel to make a tapping block.To tap the planks together. Much easier and only requires one hand instead of two. Plus you don't have to keep looking for that hammer that never seems to be in arms reach.

I’m glad you mentioned ear protection. A lot of guys think being tough means not protecting their hearing 🤦🏻‍♂️

@lanier1000 10 месяцев назад

As a landscaper in my 20's I saw this a lot.....also not wearing sun protection. By 30 to 35 years old a lot of those guys were not hearing as well and looked terrible....like they were pushing 50 +. I wore a large Chinese-style hat that kids laughed at and always used ear plugs. Guess what, I'm 54 and young women still check me out....and I can hear them....LOL. I'm not gloating, it actually makes me sad they chose that path of "being manly" b/c there's no rectifying what they did to themselves. It was anything but manly....just stupid, honestly. .

@andrewhigdon8346 3 года назад

I’m a sound engineer and the reverberation in my rooms drove me crazy. Put up any and all soft goods that you can onto the walls, including blinds in the windows, use packing blankets if you can, or very thin rugs, old sheets, whatever you’ve got, shiny is bad, soft and fluffy and dense is good. Break up the corners too. It works dramatically, it zero soft floor covering with zero soft ceiling covering is a bad recipe for noise. So I kept a narrow runner opposite where I was working and that helped a lot. Or even on the new flooring you just did, it will really help, because the relatively smooth surface of the new flooring is much more reflective than most plywood sub-flooring. Whew! I blessed with golden ears and cursed with golden ears. Ugh. Yay.

Did you find your cut offs and full length pcs repeating? Your starting row, second piece had about a foot cut off which you started row 2 with. You added a full piece next. Im guessing you still had to cut your next piece as well. Eventually I expect you had cuts repeating. True? And I believe your cut ends are only against the walls? What did you mean by the direction of your house? Thx.

@FixThisHouse 3 года назад

Hi! Thank you for watching! No need for underlayment because the pieces have already built on padding. If your subfloor is uneven would suggest using filler material or replace the badly warped boards.

@chinyeobata6285 4 года назад

@@FixThisHouse How do you remove them once the floor is complete?

@sovereignsoultribe 4 года назад

you need spacers on all perimeters to to create a gap between floor plank and walls to allow for expansion of the floor boards. This is flooring 101 rule of thumb. Usually a removable wedge would be used. once you complete the flooring remove the wedges and you will then need to put a trim around the perimeter. Also on all door ways you would need to inset a transition strip.

@chanceromance1 3 года назад

Very very helpful. Can you add adhesive to the bottom of the floor boards so keep them from sliding? And cam I apply these floor over hardwood flooring?

@HardHeadMilitary 2 года назад

Instead of using glue, take scrap pieces and screw them to the floor. Its more secure than the spacers, when finished remove them and fill in that row of flooring
