    Joe I wanted to write and say thank you! I went with a mannington adura max lvp that you suggested and we couldn't be happier. It was my first flooring install and the floor went it with no issues after I studied a bunch of your videos. Utilizing the cheater board was a huge help and made the custom cuts simple. Thanks again!

    Finding your videos at this time is a blessing, I’ve watched many of them and am very
    grateful. I mainly paint houses who also dose a little of everything else tile, plumbing,plastering you name it. Plank flooring has always been a little intimidating to me. Your videos have given me the confidence to move forward. I’ve Recently picked up a whole house remodel and wasn’t looking forward to that part of the job, but no more, I got this thanks to you. It’s great to see good people helping us all to be more equipped and productive in these times. Thanks again, God bless…

    I don't know how much you charge to lay 24 cartons of Pergo but that is how much you're saving me. Just can't thank you enough for all the tips and tricks. I do recommend anybody following you and planning a project with this type flooring to go ahead and buy the pull bar/knock locking tool for $60+. You're going to need it. Some laminate goes together easier than others.

    Thanks Joe! I watched several of your videos on vinyl plank and then got to work on a roughly 850 sq. ft. area. My cuts got progressively better and the tub area looks great thanks to your videos and training. Originally, I didn't cut off one of the clip edges on my cheater board until after I made a couple wide cuts. Then, duh!, I watched the video carefully and finally got it.

    My coworker bought a white flange and carries it in his bag for whenever he cuts around a toilet. Seems to save time and it's pretty cheap.

    You are a skilled craftsman and a good decent man !Thank You for your wonderful videos . Just put almost 1000 sq feet of vinyl plank down after watching your videos . Retired part time contractor I am ,and I like keeping up on the new materials that keep coming out . Where do you get your big rubber tapping block that resembles a float? The gentleman I was putting the floor down with kept using scrap pieces of flooring to tap with and I told him of your big rubber block ! His scrap pieces were breaking the grooves when he got carried away . Our floor came out great ,only small bathroom left to do tomorrow. It looks professionally done ,not bad for 2 65 year old retired guys doing a charity job !

  • @timf7354
    @timf7354 Před 2 lety

    Thank you for making these videos. What you show in your vinyl plank series of videos is exactly what I encountered when doing my bathroom, except for a couple details. I have a master shower and a main bathroom with bathtub. Both have glazed ceramic tile with decorations on the face that make them uneven. Also, about 1/4 to 1/3 of the tiles in the main bath are loose or very near being loose. I ended up doing each bathroom differently. I pulled up all the tile from the main bath and cleaned off the 3/4 subfloor with a grinder. Repaired rotten subfloor by the bathtub, then put 1/4 underlayment over the subfloor. (Underlayment was probably overkill, but gives the vinyl great flatness so it doesn't bounce anywhere. In the master shower, I put vinyl plank over the glazed ceramic tile. There are a couple high-use areas that have a little bounce, like in front of the sink. When I installed it, I started at the back of the room and worked out to the door. So, I will probably pull in back out and use that floor leveler you showed in another video.
    So 2 questions: Is there a better floor leveler than what you showed in another video for glazed ceramic tile? Nothing sticks to this tile because the glazing is so smooth. So, I'm worried if I use a floor leveler, it'll just come off after some use.
    Other question is where to stop in the doorway? My doors open into the bathroom, so I'm thinking about putting the transition strip under where the door closes. Then from the stop outward, will be carpet for the bedroom.
    Sorry for the long post, but would love to hear your experiences here.

    • @SoThatsHowYouDoThat
      @SoThatsHowYouDoThat  Před 2 lety +1

      Use ardex feather finish for the floor prep. It will stick to the tile plenty good. Here is a video that explains your transition. Start watching at the 48 minute mark - czcams.com/video/6eZHHSzI7Qo/video.html

    Just got my 1,200 sq ft of vynal planks delivered yesterday. They are giant planks at 10"wide x5.5 ft long by 12mm thick. Never used such big planks and not sure if that's going to make it harder or easier but I'm guessing it means a lot more cutting. I'm thanking God that I found your channel. I did my entire 1,000 Sq ft basement last weekend and it turned out great. Next week is this for upstairs and into hall bathroom so again, I'm rewatching all your videos!

    I just ordered some Cali white aspen vinyl pro to do my entire first level and have watched several videos to prepare. Yours are IMHO the best and cover the prices from A to Z. I'm excited to get going on it and will be consulting your channel during the job, I'm sure. Thanks for the time and effort, and caring, you've given all of us DIYers. It is very much appreciated. 🙏 I do have one question, though. The salesperson told me I do not need underlayment or vapor barrier under my planks, which are going over a concrete slab here in my townhome. But other sources say I need a vapor barrier. I'd love to get your opinion on this.

  • @michele2397
    @michele2397 Před 2 lety +1

    Absolutely love your videos! You are so easy to understand and your tips especially for someone like me who literally is going to start laying my LVP today. I’m doing a standalone small bathroom that has turned into a bigger project than I originally thought it would be. I bought a vanity that I wanted to put in, long story short when I remove the vanity there was no laminate under it it was just straight subfloor. However the way the builder had put the vent under the old vanity that was flush to the floor, there was no cut out in the toe kick and the condensation over 20 years this house, completely rotted the subfloor read through to the crawlspace below. I have been learning as much as I can through u tube. I cut out all of the rotted board and put in a new piece of OSB. I have done the insulation underneath the floor, filled and caulked any little gap, down replacing the toilet as well since I went that far. Good thing is now I just have a 40 sq ft bathroom roughly. I have put around the vent and a corner. I’m trying to figure out about this u channel for the transition to the carpeting in the hallway. Hopefully I can find some thing in your playlist for that. I also have an underlayment to put in since I’m gonna be right on the subfloor. I’m gonna try to find your cheater board or marker board because that seems to be very helpful. Wish me luck I’m a bit nervous but willing to try versus paying someone. Thanks so much
    And love the blessings you always give in the end I think that is awesome! Thank God for you too! 😊🙏✌🏼

    @RenoBusdriver Před rokem

    I wish I would have came across your channel when I did my first room. Finished my dining room and the part of my kitchen. I wish I had started my planks in the first room differently as in same direction as the dining room. I know it is preference. I started the opposite in dining room and used a T strip where the first room ended. The reason was I don't have money to purchase all the planks in one go. This way I can move all my furniture from the living room and store in the dining room while I prep the other floor. Installing that plank in that direction was WAY easier and went faster. I made faster progress cause now I know what the hell I'm doing. Another worry I had was my kitchen and dining room has bowed joist causing a dip in the subfloor. We were told it from the steel frame that the manufactured home sits on. With that I don't expect perfection. I'm just happy my dogs can no longer use the floor as their toilet, yes it sounds disgusting but now if they have an accident, clean up will be a breeze.
    Your videos really helped my hone my DIYer skills.

    Hey Joe,
    I hope you’re doing well . Wanted to say thank you so much for all of your content, our vinyl floor installation is going incredibly smooth due to your guidance. Forgive me because I can’t find the video where you talk about it; but what glue do you recommend for seams when I need to “cheat” and cut off the locking system on a vinyl plank floor? We’re using Adura Max.
    Once again thank you so much Joe I’ve watched all your videos multiple times and you’ve been an incredible help to us!
