Please comment for any questions! This is obviously not a detailed “how to” and more of an overview. It’s a simple project with a little learning curve.
the way the dog looks out the window is so cute
Thanks for sharing the experience!
Looks great!
This is awesome and you make it easy for even the novice DIY’er like myself to follow. Gives me the confidence to tackle the same project I’ve been putting off for too long. Thank you!!!
So awesome!! I’m so glad it’ll help you out. Our brother in law is not very handy- but he was able to pull it off. That means any one can!
Nice! Me and my dad plan on doing this to his to a good portion of the house. You guys make it look easy!
It really isn’t so bad- having the right tools make all the difference! I’ve posted another video in a different room laying down floor. It’s part of the fish room series ✌🏼
Great job
Thank you
Great work.
Thanks! We are still loving it! ✌🏼
planning on ripping out the nasty carpet on the house i closed on! not sure if i wanna jjust keep the tile under or do waterproof vinyl, this looks great though!
We’ve loved ours! It’s a great option to update! Thanks for watching ✌🏼
work of only 2 - 3hours maximum 👍🏻👍🏻
Oh no- if you want to do it right, it'll take some time! The first corner takes 2-3 hours. But once that's down, the rest is a breeze....as in a couple more hours and you're done. But that's just laying the floor, not including prep!
What did you use as an underlayment? It looks like your putting your new flooring over something other than your subfloor.
I love 😍
Thanks for watching! ✌🏼
Cool video !! What tools did you use? Did you buy the tools or rented them out?
Tools we used:
Pliers (pulling up staples)

Belt sander
Nail gun
Dremel

White rubber mallet
Spacers

Most all the tools we already had. The ones specific to doing the floor like the pull bar, spacers, and white rubber mallet we bought. Thanks for watching ✌🏼
Nice job! I may have missed this because the video cruised quickly…your underlay material…you smoothed out the subfloor with a leveling mud and then look like maybe a 1/4” underlay on top of the subfloor?
We laid down 1/4” underlayment on top of the existing subfloor. And yes, we used mud to level and sand the bottom floor. There was one spot in particular that was wonky so it took extra mud and sanding to level it! It’s all dependent on your floors and how anal you are for how level it is!
no glue ?
Show de bola
How much did it cost?
How is your floor holding up?
Beautifully!! With 4 kids (plus many friends) and a dog we’ve had zero scratches. No problems with water or anything. We clean it with bona
Very nice..if you don't mind me asking,how much did it cost excluding the tools?? I'm planning on replacing the carpet w/lvp in our bedroom..thanks for this video..
When we did our flooring, it was $3/sqft. You must get 10% more flooring to account for waste. Our room was about $1000 in the end with quarter round and underlayment boards.
Noo, don't. You will begin to hear every noise. Even the tiniest pin drop!
Did you cut the baseboard??
No we did not! We did however cut along the bottom of the doors. We had carpet before so we added the quarter round.
FYI, All flooring except for carpet is installed "under" wood base wall to floor trim, NOt butted to face of wall to floor base trim! Yikes.......
We used spacers along all the walls against the trim. That’s not mentioned I don’t think in our video. Since it’s a “floating” floor you have to have that wiggle room and allow for expansion! We used a nail gun to place quarter round above it, secured to the trim. I’m not sure if that clarifies what we did for you- but thanks for watching! ✌🏼
@@the_blue_door_house I either did not watch until the end of your video or video did not show quarter round installed. But, yes your reply that describes 1/4" gap of newly installed flooring between flooring and wall to floor trim, covered with 1/4 round would solve the problem of removing and reinstalling floor trim to cover flooring to wall gap............which is brilliant!
You’re right! It’s not in the video. In the description I think I put in there this isn’t a perfect how to! I just want people to see how easy it really is and not be so afraid of it. In the tools we used I included spacers (but no indication as to how it’s used!) ✌🏼
Removes carpet puts vinyl floors then puts a carpet on top. Why?
You've never seen a rug on hard flooring? It's easier to clean, more interchangeable with other rugs, and it looks nicer than carpet.
Painted trim is so tacky. Yuck. Nice job on the floor though
bet it kill your back for bend down all long day
