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.

I'm helping my daughter and her husband do a lament floor and the tip about the hallway going into the rooms was also appreciate how you wear Jesus on your sleeve and you are a inspiration to me to do the same at my workplace!!

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.

Hey jo .I'm a contractor in keswick just north of Toronto ontario canada I've been doing laminate when pergo started . I've got lots of great ideas from you thank you. God bless

[jimbuonocore]

Hey I just wanted to say thank you, I'm grateful there are still people who share their knowledge to help others. Now my seemingly overwhelming floor installation task seems a lot more manageable, Thanks again !

[kevinoneill]

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

Hey, you're a natural at explaining stuff. GREAT!

[rangerreno]

Wow Joe. Thanks so much for your sharing of knowledge. I am blessed by God because of your kindness and generosity. I’m starting a project and you have given me the confidence to proceed. Also, thanks for your bold witness for salvation!!

[dumdiversaspapalbull]

My You put me on something with the 3 and 3/4 lesson. That’s what you call, learning something on your way to learning something.

[propertymasters]

We're getting ready to do a big install with no transitions. Your detailed explanations are absolutely OUTSTANDING! Thank you!!!

[jimserhant]

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!

[welcometothemachine]

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!

[AlonelyRetriever]

You know what you are doing. All these other videos, showing how to lay a floating floor, the dudes never take the baseboard off...1/4 round molding is thier go to. Thank you for being professional and showing us the correct way.

[TrainingWheelTrucker]

It's been yrs since I've done laminate flooring (1200 sq ft house, three dance studios). But the secrets and insight you provide are priceless. I planned our current project from the longest line of our house and it came out amazing! Thanks for your wisdom and experience!! The cheat l cheater board is amazing!!

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,

Tony

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.
