Summer flooring projects! - Augie91 - 07-25-2022

I've got 3 carpeted rooms to put down engineered hardwood this summer! Here's the first one I finished over the weekend!![Image: e2739f59ecda562a11b4e38b82428097.jpg][Image: 220296b23a9675c3257b1559d067edc2.jpg][Image: b17f995a388b5577084c0b2a5a7c42f7.jpg]

I've never ripped up carpet or used a circular saw until a few days ago! Very satisfying project, I need to take more breaks I discovered. Knees and lower back hurt at the end of both days.

Looks hard on your back.

It was. I learned the hard way that every hour or so I need to take a 20 minute walk/break. At the end of each days work I felt all hunched over and it took me a good 30 minutes of walking to straighten up.

I've got 2 more rooms to go. Hopefully each room gets easier/faster.

Room #2 in the books. One more room to go!![Image: 649c0aefbea707b9e6ca9a7ef60d0809.jpg][Image: 26d0ab935ff3e0edcb95801e03505cc9.jpg][Image: e8cffe8a4ecb6c7e53aee0641ceac9b9.jpg][Image: c61670b7d31e62f8473270c8ff9ce5b9.jpg]

Gonna start room #3 in about a week or so. I love getting rid of the carpet.

Nice, looks like you installed it well.


RE: Summer flooring projects! - Augie91 - 09-05-2022

First room has a little less "float". The second room has a little more. I don't put down any leveling sputz or anything. The flooring was fun to install. It is pretty to look at, has a 25 year warranty, hope it holds up well through the seasons. I need to paint room #3 so I'm about 2 or so weeks from flooring in there.

Flooring is in! Tearing up carpet tomorrow!
