Back in this post we had just pulled up carpet
and Mr. D was ready to get busy installing the new flooring.
Before he jumped in laying flooring, he had a little prep work to do.
This oscillating tool is awesome for undercutting the trim.
Nothing like having the right tool for the job!
Mr. D has been learning as he goes installing the laminate flooring and
let me tell ya … the guy is rockin’ the installation like a pro!
Unlike hardwood, laminate boards actually float on top of the floating (green) underlayment.
No nails needed.
The boards click and lock together like puzzle pieces.
It’s a quick and slick process!
Last boards going in…
While Mr. D installed the flooring,
his wife painted shoe moulding and closet trim.
Mrs. D finds the kitchen counters work quite nicely for painting trim!
Closets are getting a little facelift too
Check out the classy screwdriver Mr. D uses for tight spots…
wrapping up the room with the freshly painted shoe moulding…
and … done.
We have no regrets about using laminate in the bedrooms.
It isn’t as spendy as wood, and Mr. D saved us megabucks by doing the installation himself.
The look and feel of this laminate is outstanding.
I’m so itchin’ to get some furniture in that room!
