i worked for a summer doing flooring, pergo makes wonderful everything cept the edges of the floor that click together. aka hardwood laminate. baller big names = not worth it, there is dozens of lesser names that make just as good of a product. best bang for the buck was bruce flooring, i did my parents kitchen/living room with it, and years later, its still flawless

Your place looks nice. I can't wait to move and try to get some decent ---- in my house. The GF is stuck in the 40's or something and seems to like old retarded looking dusty *** grandma ----. I throw the ---- away as fast as she tries to put it up.

Looks good man

Also I find real wood is easier to install,
I hate installing laminate, it breaks too easily

hardwood takes ------- all day. laminate, if you're not a hammer mechanic about installing it and making sure your grooves are clear, is wonderful to install.

We also did hardwood laminate in our kitchen and it's held up decent so far.

sounds like the installer didn't put the foam underneath.. it's a floating floor, can't use regular paper.. gotta have the foam.

Wood floors are big out here in Minnesota, but I lean more towards my roots of tile (kitchen/bath) and carpet everywhere else. I think the mexican adobe huts impressed me too much in CA. It came out good though.

Jizzmeister, stop watching trading spaces. Red was trendy and out when the first person did it. I can't stand customers who think they're going to paint red everywhere because they saw it on TV. Yours looks fine, I'm just overall ranting about red ----.
