pretty cheap and it looks/feels just like hardwood. 87 cents a square, and the foam pad was kinda pricey.. overall had like 300 in it.

lol that is far from real hard wood floors but good job none the less ;)

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

I'm a big fan of wood floors, even fake wood floors. The ---- looks nice and if you did that for $300 I'm impressed. Well worth it IMO. :y

EDIT: Clean up that nasty mess behind the TV. :S That ---- would drive me crazy. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. :S

I spent alot of time ripping that ---- out when I put marble flooring in my brothers place. It was run under the kitchen cabinets and my brother didn't want to rip out the granite and the cabinets to pull it all up. It was a ---- to cut that ---- under the kickpanel beings as its like a laminate and liked to gum up and burn.

Anyway the reason we pulled it all up is besides the fact that it looked and felt fake to him, it warped and every seam was raised. Looked like ---- and wasn't very old supposedly. good luck

We put those in our apartment last summer, they've held up well and still look nice.

Yeah we have wood floors which I so like. The only shitty part is having to sweep everyday.

I've installed the Ikea version of this product in my bedroom a decent number of years ago. It's a much easier install than actual hardwood flooring. Overall, these laminate floors are a great bang for the buck and is comparable to carpet. It's really not a substitute for hardwood flooring though and I laugh when I watch TLC and they are installing these floors in houses they hope to sell for $600k+.

I thought you worked construction, you look like you work the cock, built like a 13 year old girl rocking the gloves so his hands dont get dirty, floor looks good princess.

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

Looks good and for $300, you can't really go wrong.

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

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

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

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 ass grandma ----. I throw the ---- away as fast as she tries to put it up. :3

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

Looks good man :y

Also I find real wood is easier to install,
I hate installing laminate, it breaks too easily :8

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

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.

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

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

i've got cuts i'm trying to heal on my hands so i've been rocking the gloves lately.. i'm not built well, but i'm drug/smoke free and i'm stronger than I look. Here's a deck I was a part of for an optomitrist.. The acorn took for ------- ever.

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

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

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 ----.

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

floor wasnt level, floor got wet

biggest 2 problems next to people skimping on foam

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

Don't ---- on people that wear gloves. Do enough electrical and especially hvac and you'll want a new set of hands, even with gloves. Duct work is hell on the hands, the metal tape is the worst of all. That ---- will cut you if you look at it funny.

I want some bamboo floors some day, ---- looks real nice.

detailers get the short stick too, all the cleaners/soaps really eat your hands

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

I like the stone tile in the kitchen/bathrooms with darker color hard wood floors everywhere else. On the other hand carpet feels hella good, I get tired of wearing my shoes at all times.

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

Yea it's all my girl's ideas, I don't really care what color it is. Our bathroom is purple :S

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

Why are you breaking laminate? It clicks into place and all you need to do is tap it a few times with a rubber mallet. Hardwood floor can be a huge pain in the ass if the boards are slightly bowed or warped. Is all of your experience with oak and pine? We did Kempas in our house. Jesus Christ is that stuff hard. We drilled pilot holes and tried to drive in 8d nails and they'd bend(first and last rows as you couldn't exactly use the pneumatic nailer at those points). It was such a pain in the ass to get that stuff to line up properly. Took some serious ingenuity to get things to install correctly.

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

Lol, I was thinking the same thing. That room looks straight out of HGTV.

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

I hear that. Put maple in a house and everything was done in 45deg angles to the walls. Hard to get the facenails in withoutbending them and marking the prefinished face. Plus wood naturally bends and warps so it's hard to get to fit correctly, especially because they're never exactly the same width. Nightmare but looks ------ amaizing now, wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

word

plus that pad is dope

Who gives a damn when your hitting what your getting.

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

its not like guys go 'ew, this walls are red, i cannot poop in this bathroom!'

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

For real I could careless what my bathroom looks like as long as it's clean I'm good.

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

Real hard wood is a bitch, especially if it's warped at all. We just installed 3" x 3/4" oak in our house last summer. It took us three days to nail down two rooms because it was warped. One is 15'x15' and the other is 12'x10'.

I helped my dad make new cabinets and re-tile/carpet the whole house this past year. I'll throw some pictures up. It came out good, but the ------- cabinets in the kitchen were a pain in our ass. The original builders made the floor ------- slanted and with granite tops we had to get everything level. We must have put cabinets in the house, measured, taken them outside, shaved them, shimmed them, put em back in about 8 or 9 times. Came out ------- amazing though.

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

where do you work to get money for a nice aparment like that??

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

I wouldn't reccomend going bamboo flooring. Unless you have no pets, and take your shoes off everytime you walk in the room,

We did our upstairs hallway and dining room, and it went to hell in 6months flat, Sunfade, Dog scratches, every bit of water just warped the hell out of things, Plus the wait on the chairs at the dinner table,

The whole ------- thing is a wreck !

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

I love my hardwood floors and I wouldnt give them up for anything. I got real lucky and over the last 35 years either the majority of the owners didnt have pets, took care of their ---- or both cause the floor is original 60's but its immaculate.
You know whats funny, i never noticed teh trend for red doors until someone pointed it out. a lot of people paint their doors red for no ------- reason. beige house with black shudders and a red door. I see that ---- all the time now.

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

Exact same here. House was built in the 60s still has original wood floors that look great. The red door ting is suppose to pull people in and make them feel welcome or some bs. They like to do it to sell houses. I just prefer a nice wood door.

Re: Installed new click flooring in the living room. *pics*
 

I'm just about done doing our wood floors, about 700sq ft worth. It was $1.48 sq/ft and come to find out, its easy as balls to scratch. Learned my lesson. Next time I'm not going to go cheap w/flooring :( Looks pretty good though :)
