MY LAMINATE FLOORING QUEST.... March18............ TAPPING BLOCK??????
So it begins..........I started putting 1/4 inch wood shims around the perimeter of the room, to allow for expansion.
Then starting form left to right I started laying and inter-locking the wood planks.
I quickly realized that to tap these planks together ( I mean BEAT these planks together ) you need to either have someone standing on the previous plank.......Or you need to stack two to three of unopened boxes on the previous plank, and these full boxes are fifty pounds each!!!!
What I am doing here is mixing different boxes to vary the color and wood grain pattern.
Under the door jambs I needed to cutaway ( undercut the door trim to allow the flooring to slide under the door trim ,to produce a professional looking floor! :)
This is really like a big jig-saw puzzle where you spread out the parts and stand back and look for the next part/plank!!!
So @silvertop better get to this, as I type this post I have laid out planks all over the room so I can see them in daylight......And Mrs .silvertop is at work expecting floor when she gets home!!! LOL :)
Hello..
@silvertop
I just ripped up my old linoleum tiles.
I was thinking about about doing linoleum planks but I really want the Laminate..!!!
Beat them together 🤔😯..!!
I have only me for help..
Yours is looking awesome...!!!!
:D
This is a very nice product, I went with this because it is real oak laminated onto waterproof vinyl plank.
I am doing this by myself too, it's doable by yourself just stack full boxes on the row you are working on and ......... Don't hit your finger with the hammer LOL!!! :)
