    Excellent video. Trying to tackle how to get new floors in our kitchen and this was a great tutorial/time lapse. Your family seems so sweet and it's shocking how much you got done with two kids. Luckily our kitchen area is very small. I hope your family is enjoying the new floors two years later. Thanks again!

    Big job, a lot of work! And yes, so much cleaner looking with the flooring flowing down the length of your space as opposed to perpendicular to it:) After the tear out and install, I can't begin to tell you how gratifying it was watching you complete that last row:) The two of you are adorable together:) I did my bathroom with Lifeproof, but it's pretty tough, easier said than done scoring and snapping Lifeproof but it looks great and it's quite durable. Thought I was going to go forward doing the rest of my living space but time got away from me, then covid...fast forward... it's now been about 5 yrs since I did it (Mar 2018) and now the price is over a dollar more per sq/ft. You've got me curious about your flooring. And now a couple years since you did your floors but just wondering how this floor is holding up so far? Really enjoying your vids, just became a new subscriber:)

    Excellent video! Thanks for sharing. I was struggling with if i could get my new appliances in before the lvp got installed.. I ripped up all my laminate, but now after watching your video i can have my appliances delivered tomorrow and take my time on putting down the floor. It looks like you just rolled your appliances over your new floor with no problem. Was it the same with your dishwasher?
