    Salute. Joe, we watched all your videos and even got the tools that you use sent over from the States. There were so many tips and tricks that you showed that have just made the job look so professional. Installing 10 rows and moving the planks half along from the centre line to finding the centre of the house and starting there and just invaluable. To creating the template for corners and edges. All gold! Thank you Good Sir!

    You are a blessing is so many ways, Joe. These video tutorials is just a small part of it. Having said that, you’ve helped me before & are again with this video. I’m about to start a 1000 sq ft solid hardwood install in my sister’s home that opens to the living & dining rooms, they connect to a long hallway with the MBR on the other end and rooms on either side of the hallway. You once again removed my biggest concern. Thank you! God Bless!

    Thank you Joe and his bless you and everyone you love. I am a DIYer that usually a trial and error guy so you can imagine how much I learn by mistakes and the time and the cost it will be for me. However, I strive to get perfection. Sometimes it's done by pretty unorthodox methods. So when someone like you comes along you won't believe how much I appreciate it. Thank you so much

  • @commercialand
    @commercialand Před rokem

    Instead of using a chalkline on a 3bd 2bath modular, I just finished, my brother in law told me modulars are very square. So I just followed a sub flooring seam straight down the hallway, and I was able to do the whole house seamlessly at all door casings and some where at that 22.5 angel? And everything looked very straight except that stupid 1 inch piece that I needed to lock along the wall, Haha! ....I use a 1inch chisel to pull those back in. works great, SNAP!
    I was quite worried honestly when I first started, I'm not gonna lie! ha, but it turned out great, and my 55yr old knees gained a bit more strength!
