You are a LIFE SAVER!!!! I'm autistic and I can't stand the carpeting these cheap landlords be using to cover up the damaged floors. And because of that I tend to just stay on my bed or a chair as of the carpet was hot lava. Just by sharing your experience, you've shot rocketed my mental health and physical health. Thank you thank you
I'm so glad I could help! Please consider using 1/4 inch plywood under the linoleum flooring to make it more stable I didn't do that in this video so the carpet underneath made the floor squishy so it broke after awhile but if you place the plywood on top of the carpet and duck tap it together making a sort of floating sub floor the linoleum on top will have more more stability and last longer :)
There's a lot of hate in these comments. I did have to turn up the volume, but i also found your voice soothing. Your amazing, you did an amazing job. PLEASE PLEASE, don't let these comments get you down. People are nasty. I found your video VERY helpful. I have kids and pets. My last rental we had to pay to replace all the carpet because it got tore up so bad from 3 years of living there. Your here to give help and insight, and thats exactly what you did. Thank you so much. Please ignore the people "having a bad day" 🙄
Thank you for watching it! I probably would do this a bit different if I did it again, like I'd add some 1/2 inch plywood above the carpet and duck tape it together as a sub floor kind of thing before putting the linoleum on top if I did this again.
@@ShelyHomeDesign hi the perfect solution without those additional steps are grip-strip planks: IMPORTANT QUESTION! I was told that the moisture will get trapped and cause mold. Is that true? Did you experience anything like this? I put the roll out vinyl and I wish I had your email to show you how it turned into a disaster after 4 years. Please get back to me about the mold/ moisturize potential 🙏🙏
That's what I thought too. But this does have drawbacks, you need to place a gard surface under the vinyl and above the carpet to not get tearing in the vinyl
This carpet was quite plush, so it didn't age the best, but if you make a floating subfloor with plywood and tape the plywood together floating on the carpet it'll give you a smooth hard surface for the linoleum
I did overlap it, and then used clear packing tape over the overlap, however I'm not super happy with this project. I think it would be better to use thin plywood underneath the vinyl and above the carpet and then tape the plywood together to create a fake subfloor for the vinyl to go over. It'll last longer that way and be more lile a proper floor.
I didn't know about that hard board/Yucca board? Even if it's not ideal for this project, I can imagine some other good DIY uses for such a board because it sounds stronger than cardboard. I wonder where I could get it. Edit, I just found out it's euca board which is named for eucalyptus not yucca. I found a variety of websites selling it and similar items.
I chose to use hardboard instead of plywood, it was about 16 per 8 by 4 sheet, and I used around 8 ish sheets, I didn't do the whole floor with it, however plywood would work much better. The flooring I got on sale and the total for that was around 300 dollars!
Thanks for making this video! Definitely have a new subscriber here. Couple of quick ?s: -Where did you buy the hardwood vinyl roll? -And how much did it cost? Thx 🙏
Ive had a lot of comments like this, I honestly didn't mean to irritate anyone and I'm sorry. I definitely will speak up a lot more in any future videos I do!
As a person with rental property I hope you asked your landlord first. I had a tenant who did this and after they left the carpet was totally destroyed underneath because it was flattened out so much. Also moisture got down there.
I did this to protect the carpet underneath since I have cats and it was already in bad shape, I've also done this before and never had a problem! Plus California is very dry. Thanks for your concern! ❤
Carpet is disgusting, just put in hardwood floors and stop making your tenants live in subpar conditions. Or better yet, sell the home to a person who wants to own it and live in it and build equity! Stop robbing other people of the dignity of owning just because you can't figure out a productive way to make money. Abolish landlords!
Youre totally intitled to that option! I personally think it would have been better if I used plywood underneath and did mention that in the video! Next time I do this that's what I'll do, but since I didn't have a job or much money at the time of this video I made due with what I had, and it made keeping the floor clean a lot easier! 🥰
I see buckles in this and that looks very poorly done. Why not go find some cheap new carpet and install it yourself. If someone wants to rent that the way it looks they will probably eventually not pay rent. Some things you just can't cut corners on and if you do you get what you pay for. Good luck with your rental 🎉
I'm the renter, and i did this mainly to make it easier to clean, but I agree it wasn't perfect, so I went in later and created a sub floor with thin plywood and duck taped the peices together floating on the carpet and under the linoleum, it fixed the problem and it still looks fine 2 years later
Ahhh! Understood! I was thinking you had a scum bag landlord. But you wanted a different look for yourself and easy to remove! I wasn't trying to be rude😊 but I completely understand why you chose this route now and I'm glad your happy with your alterations. 🎊
I am not the type to comment but I was so disgusted by the comments. I was hoping to see suggestions but all I found was bitterness. But just wanna tell you that Iam grateful for this video you made. It was meant for people like us looking for suggestions. We appreciate your commitment into showing your craft. You never said you were a pro you’re are just sharing and we appreciate it.
This video is really great for installing a hard floor over a carpet for a rental, hence why I said exactly that! 💯 but I appreciate your comment for the algorithm! Thanks! Maybe next time don't use profanities in a public comment.

So true. People are morally bankrupted until something bad happens to them. Keep shining guys. Be well.
Very helpful. I’m upset about my situation right now, but this feels empowering. I’m going to do this and stop crying lol 🎉
Thank You for Letting Us Know the Errors So No One Can Sell Me on the idea of Anything But Plywood... Appreciatively, LH from Kentucky 🤗...
Oh yeah I wanted to make sure that my mistakes wouldn't be passed on, I hope your flooring project works beautifully ❤️
Awesome job and idea!! Thanks Shelly!! ❤️💪🏾
I don’t know how this came to your mind it’s better than the others videos I have been watching. Thank you for making this video ❤❤❤

Thank you 😊
You did a great job!!
Thank you!
Do you have a video of how it looked when u switched to the plywood
You have such a soothing voice
Thank you ☺️
Let the haters hate lol I love hearing the soothing whispers! Keep going !!
Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Ohhhhh 1 sheet this is so much better than the tile by tile I’ve been seeing
That's what I thought too. But this does have drawbacks, you need to place a gard surface under the vinyl and above the carpet to not get tearing in the vinyl
@@ShelyHomeDesign so this would work best in areas that are not high traffic
i love your videos! i just found ur channel! You have some great ideas. You should start a second asmr channel bc your voice is relaxing and amazing!
Thank you so much, this means a lot, I do have more videos to edit but I've been so busy with work. I hope to make more for you in the future!
@@ShelyHomeDesign glad to hear more videos are coming in the future
How thick is the carpet? I want to try something similar, but my carpet is super thick. Wonder if this will still work
This carpet was quite plush, so it didn't age the best, but if you make a floating subfloor with plywood and tape the plywood together floating on the carpet it'll give you a smooth hard surface for the linoleum
How did you get your vinyls to co.e together mime have a gap between them did you overlap it?
I did overlap it, and then used clear packing tape over the overlap, however I'm not super happy with this project. I think it would be better to use thin plywood underneath the vinyl and above the carpet and then tape the plywood together to create a fake subfloor for the vinyl to go over. It'll last longer that way and be more lile a proper floor.
@@ShelyHomeDesign my remodel would be permanent ♾ so I wonder if I used epoxy instead of tape to make a permanent bond.
I didn't know about that hard board/Yucca board? Even if it's not ideal for this project, I can imagine some other good DIY uses for such a board because it sounds stronger than cardboard. I wonder where I could get it.
Edit, I just found out it's euca board which is named for eucalyptus not yucca. I found a variety of websites selling it and similar items.
It's a really great material for a lot of different uses!
1/4 plywood and put some stick on tiles on it tape the seams with duct tape there are 1000 videos on it
Please could you tell me what is the exact name of this linoleum. I am checking online now and I see only the one that are like a boar pieces.
I'm so sorry, but I purchased this on clearance and it was awhile ago so I don't remember the name. I wish I could help.
@@ShelyHomeDesign no worries I found it :)
@@elizabethcolorsart7728 Hello, may I have the name of it please? Can't find it anywhere
@@elizabethcolorsart7728What is the name of it?
How much did this roughly end up costing you with the plywood and the vinyl flooring?
I chose to use hardboard instead of plywood, it was about 16 per 8 by 4 sheet, and I used around 8 ish sheets, I didn't do the whole floor with it, however plywood would work much better. The flooring I got on sale and the total for that was around 300 dollars!
Thanks for making this video!
Definitely have a new subscriber here.
Couple of quick ?s:
-Where did you buy the hardwood vinyl roll?
-And how much did it cost?
Thx 🙏
I purchased it at lowes, and it was about 300 dollars for the amount I needed, it was on clearance
@@ShelyHomeDesign Thanks 🙏
@@ShelyHomeDesign this Answers my other questions thanks
What happened to the bumps?
What bumps?
For the alg
Thank you! ❤ I can use all the comments 😌
She talks like bob ross😂
Yeah... I've gotten mixed reviews on my choice of voice over.. my next video may be a bit different 😅
What's up with the Whispering? When you are suppose to be "instructing /advising "
Ive had a lot of comments like this, I honestly didn't mean to irritate anyone and I'm sorry. I definitely will speak up a lot more in any future videos I do!
Dude shut the fuck up you can hear her just fine, if you don't like it just watch a different video, not everything revolves around YOUR preferences
Could barely hear u. You sound like your whispering. Great video though!
Yeah, I kind of speak softly in these videos.. I'll try to be a bit louder in my next one!
I hear her voice perfectly and volume was not even all the way up. As a bonus I enjoyed hearing her very relaxing voice
VOLUME. BUTTON.

Waaaah. Try working for a living, shlomo. Or stop being a shlumlord
Carpet is disgusting and unsanitary.
I can't hear you honey. Just whispering.
I'm sorry. I do have a soft voice, ill try to speak up in the next video!
@@ShelyHomeDesign just be yourself! If they don’t like it, oh well.
Why are you whispering ??
Ooohh HELL NO
Are you ok?
@@ShelyHomeDesign I’m sorry but the final design looks like crap. Cheap.

@@apriltropet8048 I agree. I would have loved to have seen it with the plywood underneath.
the only issue was the bubbling wrinkles. Would have been cool if the bubbles weren't there. Really wish I had wooden floors in my room lol

The camera moves so fast that I couldn't see the details of the existing carpet. Gave me a headache. Could not make it to the 1 minute mark.
That's because you have the attention span of a literal goldfish and you have brainrot from Facebook.
Don’t label your video how to install hard floors if you’re going to use fake shit
This video is really great for installing a hard floor over a carpet for a rental, hence why I said exactly that! 💯 but I appreciate your comment for the algorithm! Thanks! Maybe next time don't use profanities in a public comment.
@@ShelyHomeDesign no its not, you didnt fit a hardwood floor
