You got this!! Feel free to pause and rewatch as I do go through the content quickly. Best advice I can give you as you're trying to figure this out, is visualize it, try to imagine your cut and how it fits before you cut. Measure twice, cut once. If you mess up, you may need another box of flooring depending on how much you mess up but the more you do it, the easier it gets. Best of luck and let me know if you have any questions!

What if you have an area thats a circle or semi circle how do you do that
@ColtonCrumpDIY6 ай бұрын
Great question. So this is one of those times in life when the formulas taught in 4th grade actually apply. Say it's a half circle you need to find the area. 1. Measure the widest part from edge to edge = diameter 2. Take that number in inches, divide by 2 = radius 3. Multiply by pie (3.14) and square the radius. (ie πr²) 4. That's the entire circle area, so if you have a half circle divide that by 2. Now you have the area in inches that you need. If you need it in feet then divide 12. Let me know if this helps! :)

I know everyone is saying your a great teacher and no doubt I’m just slow but what are you doing by dividing by 12 and multiplying as well as the percentages
@ColtonCrumpDIY5 ай бұрын
You're good haha there is a lot here. So I'm measuring in inches and I want to know square first of flooring that I need. So I take a measurement, say width first, in inches, divide that by 12 (because 12 inches = 1 ft) then that gives me the feet of that measurement. Then because I'm measuring squares and rectangles, I measure the length in inches, divide by 12 get the feet. Now I have 2 measurements in feet. W and L. Multiply those together and I got my square footage. That help?
@peterwallace42732 жыл бұрын
You should be adding at least 10% to all orders, to allow for replacement tiles. I didn't think this thru until we had a hurricane and the tile was discontinued by the manufacturer. Would have been a-lot cheaper to have stored extra tile in my attic.

Why did you divide it by 12? I’m kinda confused here cuz some other people says that you have to divide it by 144? What would be the difference ?
@ColtonCrumpDIY11 ай бұрын
So I'm measuring everything by inches on my measuring tape. It's a direct read on the measuring tape. Then I divide by 12 because I need to convert to feet. 12 inches = 1 foot. That help?
@lunastoir2 ай бұрын
@@LauraRodriguez-pr7es you divide by 144 when you already multiplied square-inch of your space and you need to convert to square footage. For example, 10 ft x 10ft = 100 ft^2. But you measure 120 inches per side of the room. You can either 1) 120 inches / 12 in = 10 ft. Do this again for the other side. Then multiply to get 100 ft^2. Or 2) 120 inches times 120 inches = 14400 inches^2. Then you divide by 144, which equals 100 sqft^2. Hope this makes sense.

I had a local contractor come to my house to give me an estimate for flooring. he was done in 10 minutes as he measured the entire length of my house by the entire width of my house and told me I had a 1200 ft² house added a hundred feet of flooring for 10% basically and told me the price would be $5,800 that includes materials. after he left I painstakingly measured out the entire floor plan including all the closets all the rooms using rectangles just like you did every time that I was short of a foot I rounded it to the next highest foot on every measurement I took and I came up with 964 ft² added 10% for 1060.?? that equates to about $3,700 at $3.49 a square foot claimed price by this guy. Well you guessed it his measurement of the whole house footprint was 1,144 plus 100 square feet for 10% he said I had a get 1300 ft² of flooring for a price of $5,800. Am I really allowing myself to get ripped off for almost $2,000??? What should I do What should I say to him I've already paid him for the floor it's scheduled to be done on the 5th of May. I'm kind of pissed and want my money back cuz he's charging me for every square foot of every wall in the house including the bathtub and shower footprints. is this the way some people do it and get away with it so they can give a lower price on the square footage than other people?
@ColtonCrumpDIY2 жыл бұрын
Yeah so that's the issue with contractors. Everyone one of them run their business differently. There isn't a standard (outside of structure codes, electrical or plumbing codes. Etc) that they are held to when it comes to bidding. I may be a little too hyper focused and understand that people are trying to make money for their business, but your exactly right, he measured out an area assuming it's an open area without any obstacles around it. I always measure out the exact flooring I need (around walls, making those squares and adding them all up) and buffer by adding 10% for cutting waste. When I first started to DIY flooring, I started with 15% buffer for waste. In the end, you said you paid the contractor and is scheduled. I'm not in a place to financially advise you on what to do as I don't know any agreements or contracts signed. But if you don't feel comfortable about it, I don't see any harm in having a conversation about trying to get your money back and looking at other contractors.
