couldnt agree more!
For real
😁😁😃😃😃🤗🤗🤗👏👏👏
This product is not good for high traffic Areas
Hi, how did this flooring hold up with wear, spills,etc. and would it be possible to replace a section if damage?
There is no therapy better than staying busy doing worthwhile projects like this floor. Sending you support and prayers, brother. Loved the shot of your daughter, which reminded me of my two girls.
There is and God's word will take you to the top.Amen.
I got heavily involved in woodworking a few years ago due to your content. Its good to see you back in the saddle again. Positive vibes to you and your loved ones, you're a Great Dude. Lets Build Together.
I loved how she came in bossin' up. Great stuff, nephew. You inspire us.
I’m so glad you’re back. I love it when the boss shows up. Keeps you honest. I laid vinyl plank in a bathroom I loved it.
Thanks! Same here, I missed this!
I'm totally impressed with your openness with the community yesterday and your project today. You won a new subscriber! Looking forward to what you've got coming down the pike!
Maaaaan that slide summarized the whole thing .. congratulations dude you really did great work & hope you enjoy it happily & healthy 😍🤍👍🏻
I’m sorry for the loss of your relationship and the hardship on your daughter. Even though the reality doesn’t always match the blueprint in our minds, it’s doesn’t change the quality of the father you can be. Thank you for being vulnerable as a man and sharing, for the self work you’ve taken upon yourself to do, and of course for your content. Take care brother
Thank you for sharing your professionalism I love your quality work I'm learning so much
Killer installation! What a huge transformation and yeah... the concrete footers are a challenge and you evened them out, that electric planer did an awesome job... also that resaw on the job site saw. Glad to see you back and that's the way to get back into the groove... It sometimes takes going back to a clean slate for a new beginning both in life and in the shop... it's both a metaphor and a physical reality.
I installed the garage floor tiles in my garage bc of your video. I'm excited to see what else you inspire me to do! Glad to have you back!
That is awesome to hear! Thanks!
@@DIYCreatorssame! So glad I installed the vinyl tiles.
How does it hold up driving a car on it?
@@Michael-nz8dn 10/10. I love the floor tiles. They really made my garage feel like a true extension of my house. Holding up well so far!
@@Michael-nz8dn it works well. Almost 2 years. Zero regrets
Love how this work area turned out❤
This is one of the best produced and informative how-to's I have watched. The descriptions and explanations are clear and well spoken. The attention to detail and focus are just what is needed for a professional instructional on vinyl flooring. Good job on the remodel and the video.
I completely forgot how much I enjoy watching you build and talk about problem solving along the way. Great to have you back.
It is really nice to see you back.
Thanks! Likewise 😀
I am so happy you are back posting. Your videos gave me the confidence to start doing work around the house myself. Since then I built my fence and saved thousands of dollars.
Thank you for everything, very good video as always and I might try this for my kitchen redesign!

See you’re back Glen. Thank
You for the videos once again.
Hey Glen, I'm happy to see you're back! You always deliver great content. Hope you are doing well.
Hey man, thanks! Much appreciated.
Good to see you again doing some great work
Hey, thanks
We’ve missed you so much! I’m so glad you’re back - you’re my number one favorite DIY Creator!
GREAT to see you making videos again, Glenn!
I’ve seen your videos in passing before. Ran into your previous one on why you’ve been out. Going through something like that isn’t easy and I know the feeling all to well. Good to see you’re moving forward. Happy to subscribe.
Looks like another room of the house. Very professional job. I think you'll be happy with the vinyl, we used it for years with 3 german shepherds with little wear and tear. I'm glad to see you're back and can't wait to see more projects!
Vinyl plank flooring in a garage? Awesome!
best video on this topic on youtube. thanks for no runaway sentences and scatterbrain.
Welcome back Glenn, praying for you brother. Nice work on this project and huge transformation. It’s super satisfying once you get to installing the trim work. Turned out great. 👍
Glad to hear you're taking care of yourself. My wife duffers from anxiety and depression and it takes a toll on every aspect of her life. Hopefully everything gets better and you focus on yourself before this channel. Welcome back Glen!!
Hope you release some more new videos soon! You have been sorely missed and we are praying for you!
You came back strong, Glen! So excited to see what you’ll do next with your workshop. Beautiful flooring!
So good to have you back Glen. Really missed your content.
Thanks! Happy to get after this again.
The transformation is incredible. Always inspiring me to take on new projects. It always amazes me how little needs to be done to have a major impact on a space
This guy is such a pleasant fellow I really enjoy his delivery as much as his good content!
Sooo good to have you back. I am glad to know you are getting better.
Abrazos from Chile 🇨🇱
So glad to see you back!! Missed seeing your videos.
Thanks! I was worried I forgot how to do this lol. JK
Great to see you back. Wonderful job on the floor. Really liked the way you trimmed out the door. Can't wait to see how the rest of the garage is going to be finished out.
Thank you so much for sharing your professionalism I love your work I'm learning so much
Over the moon to see you back. Be well.
So glad you’re back. I enjoy watching you making and putting things together.
Great to see you back in the shop doing projects. Always enjoyed your videos. Prayers to you and hope things continue to get better for you. Blessings.

Always!
Man, this inspires me to DIY my on studio apartment in the future. so sleek, so clean.

Heck yea! You're back! Excited to see your new projects bro. 👊
Thanks!
Your work is impeccable and very impressive. Very thorough, neat and precise. Can't wait to see more of your projects.
Great to have you back! Hoping good things for you and your family
Happy to see you are back and allow me to learn something.
I added vinyl flooring to my garage a few years back. So much cheaper and easier than Epoxy. Looks great too.
@BudoDave76
Do you park cars on it, or is it a workshop?
I’m curious to know how this would hold up to vehicles.
@@rumrun11 I do. I made small piece about 4’x4’ and parked on it for a month with the front tires and saw no blemishes or marring.
So far the only disadvantage I’ve see is that you don’t get the traction you’d get from epoxy.
Only cost about $800 bucks.
@@BudoDave76 good to know, thanks. What is the climate like where you live.
I live in Canada. I’m wondering if this would hold up to a Canadian winter, followed by a reasonably warm summer.
Yes, I could see it being a bit slippery. I wonder if there is some kind of sanded paint or sanded clear coat you could put over top (at least in the area where the tires roll over) to provide a better grip?
@@rumrun11 I’m in So Cal… but… my cousin in Seattle Washington did her garage as well and it’s holding up perfectly. Her neighbors were inspired to do the same.
@@BudoDave76 thanks for the info. Much appreciated 👍🏼
Great all around job , looks fabulous
I forgot to say I'm having flooring put down at this very hour I pray the gentlemen do a beautiful job so my floors will look amazing like yours. It appear I have the same color as you, but not sure it could just be the lighting making it look like that. 🤩
All of us are so glad you are back, Glenn! When can we expect your next video? I’m sure it will be awesome!
Your supervisor did a great job. I watched a video last week where someone installed similar flooring and he had good things to say about it too. I look forward to updates on how it does in your shop. Thanks for sharing.
I love vinyl flooring. I put it in my basement that I’m remodeling. Easy to clean and durable. Great job!! Your space looks awesome!
Amazing transformation!! You're a hard, hard worker and oh so inspiring!
SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU BACK.....
Excellent...quite an improvement, will be interested how it holds up. Welcome back!
Thanks! I am looking forward to it as well.
Welcome back. I first saw videos of yours quite a few years ago. Always high quality info and well produced content.
Edit: The floor looks great!
Awesome job and glad to have you back and healthy
Good to have you back creating content.
15:50 you need some silicone around that hole and along that transition piece, so rain doesn't get under your flooring and cause a mold issue. P.s. glad you're back. 💖🌞🌵😷
Good point, Thanks, I'll add that to the todo list.
So happy to have you back, man! The space looks great and I’m in awe of how calm you are with this stuff, I would have messed up halfway through and have to start again… twice! 😅
Glad to have you back here brother!
This looks AMAZING! But, all your projects do in my opinion. Glad to have you back! Continue to take care of yourself :)
Good to see you back brother…great content as usual
Much appreciated
I haven’t seen your videos in a while. You have great content man.
Hey, thanks!
Glad your back... that floor looks like it game out good.. i hope it stands up to your creativeness in that maker space
Good to see you back brother! Also really glad you went to get help. One thing us men don't do! Good on your behalf to get the help and to be there for your daughter!
I did vinyl planks for my dog's room. it had concrete slab just like your garage. I would always recommend to measure width of the room before laying; chances are you will want to cut your first row that you lay so that the final row might not end up being a sliver of width. Looks like it worked out fine for you :)
Glad you’re back. Cool project and sharp looking results. I have two durability questions regarding vinyl plank in a garage/shop for you or anyone else who has done this. 1. How well does the planking hold up to concentrated weight created by heavy tools on feet/rollers? 2. How does planking stand up to a parked vehicle, especially to twisting force of tires turning with steering movement?
I’m so happy you spoke about your challenge and mental health. Most people don’t!!!! We all face challenges and happy you were able to recognize it, step back and take time for yourself. Happy you’re back too
You came back strong! Such a good video. These ones are always so relaxing to watch
HI Glen, Glad your back and wish you and your family all the best! Also great job on the floor!!
Question: what happened to the husky floor tiles? did they not hold up?
Dudes garage looks better than some peoples living rooms
Welcome back G!"
Can't believe it's been a year -& how grown ur daughter is.
Time flies that flooring looks good!
Good vibes all around!
Great 👍 job. We need more videos 📹 I really like your jobs
Glenn - DO NOT put the laminate flooring directly over tile. Yes it will take you a bit longer to do it "correctly", but it will be well worth it. I've been repairing and replacing floors for far too long, and can't tell you the number of times I've replaced horrors. Love the channel, glad to see you back! Remember - the sun rises and sets every day.
I came here to say the same thing. Pull the old tile up. It will save you a lot of heartache.
I agree with you boys 15+ years of doing floors showed me never to take the easy way out lol
I believe he said that he would first float the floor to get it flat and then lay the vinyl floor on top of that. As long as you first scuff u the tiles and prime it properly to get good adhearence, it should work well enough.
Needs 6 mil poly at the minimum or a moisture mitigation system. I have been seeing major issues with LVP and Moisture.
So good to have you back! How does this compare to the other vinyl tiles you installed 2y ago? The looks are amazing... I have installed loose lay planks before inside a house but have always been hesitant to do it in a garage with heavier objects and even a car.
Wonder if he can drive a car on those planks
Legit happy to see this in my feed. Glad you’re back!!!
Welcome back, vinyl floor’s definitely have pros and cons! 😊
Welcome back. Good to see ya popping in again. Nice work by the way
Glenn, your attention to detail always blows me away. Can't wait to see the shop back together. Thanks for sharing!!!
Glad to see you back at it, was actually planning on installing vinyl flooring in my sun room so this video came at the perfect time.
