    I want to install a seamless floor without ANY transitions on the entire ground floor of my house; this video was a "holy shit" moment!! I had no idea where to start it off. Thank goodness I found this video.

    Thank you for doing this. I am a local home repair guy and I install flooring all the time. You’re videos have always been helpful and I guide myself from them. But more so than that, you appear to be a really genuine and nice guy, so im thankful for you and truly appreciate your videos. I Pray for happiness for you and peace because you are a pleasure to watch. Thank you my good man and keep up the good work 😊👍🏼

    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

  • @welcometothemachine9028

    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!

  • @anneoreilly4900
    @anneoreilly4900 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    A small omission: when you shift the center line to one side by half the plank width you ALSO removed one of the planks. Six down to five. Now it makes sense. Thx Joe for usable content.

    I just quit a flooring store, they had the worst installers I've ever seen, I tried explaining the hall way thing to them and they wouldn't do it just because it was on you tube, I learned this hallway trick from a big time contractor, just cut its on you tube doesn't mean it's wrong, this is the right way to do things.

    Installations are very labor intensive. I appreciate you making it easier, smarter and more professional.

    I'm a sunroof installer, I get asked often the best way to heat their room. I know that both certain vinyl and laminate can be installed over electric radiant heat . I've used this often but only under tile. Most of my customers are on decks.
    How would you tackle this, or is it an option? BTW, your the most informative flooring man on all the internet. As soon as anyone even mentions an interest in dyi floors, I immediately pull anyone of your Videos and share it. And tell them.. "you guys are gonna have a million questions, this man will answer every FN one of them! Don't waste your time with anyone else. You and the Idaho painter should get together. He's just as awesome at his trade and videos as your are at yours..inside carpentry is another one. the three of you should share followers. Thanks,

    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!

This is really helpful, especially given the fact that my wife told me "I don't want any transition" and that I have nearly 100 squared meters to lay out for the ground floor only !
