After putting up with the 29 year old Vinyl kitchen floor the Mrs. talked me into a new Laminate floor. First time ever installing one. Pretty easy. Floor is all in and just gotta finish up the trim work.
Getting Started- Look at the Horrible Vinyl!

Work progressing- Liking the new floor already

Moving along now Starting to really look fancy

Dining area finished

Main kitchen area almost done

I can't tell if thats some Gneiss Schist, or that Schist is Gneiss. All I know is don't take it for Granite

I myself have helped my cuz put in floors in my aunt's whole house. I hope you put hard wood floor padding under the boards, or do they have it stuck on the back? ~Colt Chainmail~
