    Floor surface requirements for XL and Drop and Done plank flooring.

    You asked what "can", not what "if". The list of if's is very long indeed.

    DIY question: Need help stretching carpet

    You know, I did not think that diagram really looked quite right. All of the stretches are supposed to be at 15° angles. Why do they have that diagram listed as the one they show on their webpage and then the video explaining it is all at the 15° angle??? Why do they want to confuse me?

    Floor surface requirements for XL and Drop and Done plank flooring.

    I did one job loose laid, then I did zero job loose laid after I went back and glued it all. It's a nice product, but it isnt magic. Its a 5mm calendared vinyl plank and they are stable and weighty but I still release adhesive every one I ever did.

    Floor surface requirements for XL and Drop and Done plank flooring.

    Xl can be installed on osb/subfloor materials. Sand and seams would be the norm. Best practice is obviously underlayment and don't expect it to end well of it is loose laid especially with subfloor.

    See, I do not believe that for a minute. Work should be traded for an appreciable compensation and both parties should be amicable to the terms. Unfortunately your statement is often more true than mine.

    So I looked into a bit of the legislation on this matter down there in the America and from what I can garner, I might have been entirely off on my commentary about conditions of salary. That being said I would like to update my stance on salaried positions in America. Anyone taking a salary in...

    To be fair, anyone stupid enough to take a salary in a food service industry is just dumb and deserves to be taken advantage of. Not to mention, one could always exercise work to rule under that circumstance and take a stand against being taken advantage of and do exactly as your contract...

    Super gluing your corners makes them amazing too!! Definitely lay it down flat, it hates to be stood up, if memory serves me correctly I was cutting it all from the face the last time I did it with a 140 tooth 12 inch blade. I also do not do enough of it to justify spending 400 dollars on the...

    I feel that way about all the bloody instruments I have. They have been sitting around for the past 8 years or so collecting dust.

    Carpet Repair only as side business

    Dont mind the old folks, they are crusty from a life time of floor laying :) You would be willing to fill a segment of the industry that most guys cannot even be bothered with. Any floor layer worth even a lick of salt is busier than snot these days. Last time I was asked to do a restretch for...
