DIY Laminate Flooring - My first DIY floor installation #diyhomeimprovement #laminateflooring

Listen, sis, if there's something you want to do, JUST DO IT! I'm so f'ing proud of myself.  I swear I was stressing about how to do this floor when I thought about redoing this closet. I sent on #YouTubeUniversity and found the first video from @homedepot, and I kid you not it was like a quick 5 minute video on how to do this.  When I watched it, I  was like "omg is that easy? "... hell yeah, I can f'king do this! And let me tell you one thing about me.  If I think I can ...I can and I will.  I'm gonna arm myself with the knowledge on how to and get it done.  So if you're thinking about this you can. 

Laying this floor was quick and easy. It took a #newbie like me 90 minutes to this by myself. 

Tools I used and think you should have for your project:
Underlayment (should be based on your subfloor)
Laminate ( this one is Mohawk Revwood Kingmire Chestnut )
Instaform profile (transition strip from flooring to tile)
Hammer/ mallet
Laminate floor kit (I got mine from @homedepot) it includes the wedges spacer, steel pull bar, and tapping block
Saw or laminte floor cutter (I recommend saw it has more uses)
Painters tape (optional)
Tape Measure (optional)

Let's go start that #diyproject. You go this💪🏾😘

Thank you for the video and encouragement. I’ve been going back and forth on whether I install them or leave it to the professionals lol. The room I’m doing is about 15x15 so I think I got this.

I was about to pay $600 for someone to do my 150sqft office, but after seeing this…. I will do it myself 🙌🏼
I just saved myself a hundred fifty bucksss (x4)
Thank you!

Thanks for making this...getting a quick example makes it seem way less intimidating. Helping my parents with a medium sized remodel next weekend 😋
