I had a ton of problems with a different vinyl tile (smartcore Shaw). This one you did looked so easy to lock the joints.

[@joesmith-yr4rm]

I read the entire Ryan’s kzbin.infoUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans and was able to make a shed plan. Using Ryan’s Shed Plans alone, the shed itself is great. Where I wish I knew more is with respect to ground preparation and foundations. Maybe that's beyond the scope of Ryan’s Shed Plans.

[@jordanmiller5063]

Just a heads up. Professional floor installer here. There is a good chance you voided your warranty adding that additional padding. Most* manufactures explicitly state to not do that. The reason being is they already have an attached padding. If you add too much cushion that gives more room for the locking system to move when you walk on it and over time the locking system will fail.

💯

[@wizardmaster6639]

NOPE - I did that - The floor is 15 years old now.. still no issues. Professional Engineer here - far smarter than a professional floor installer ;)

[@slh48]

I was thinking about having my family room done with the Vinyl floors /tile I always tell my friends you do the best work on KZbin 🔨⚒🪛🪚🪤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@bretmartin1305]

​@@wizardmaster6639he did say "there is a good chance" so correct me if I'm wrong, oh great knower of knowledge but that's like saying " it may, or may not" so as happy as we all here on KZbin land are for you and your 15yr. Floor there is still a chance others might not have you to come do their floor with the hands of God to prevent that shit from happening ASS🤡

[@jerrywalker3569]

I’m going to do a floor in a utility / laundry room with a very similar LVP. I need to work around a washer and dryer on pedestals, full size refrigerator, room is 16’x7’, I bought an Airsled to move everything around, I’m 70 trying to make things easier. Thanks for the video, it’s really going to help!

[@gunnarguggs2725]

You make projects seem doable for everyone, thanks. I understand this was an _installation_ video and not a _materials_ video, but it should be pointed out to people that there are varying degrees of quality in these planks, where some are very durable and others not as much. Also, some are manufactured to minimize release of hazardous substances during production and post-install, and there are even alternatives that look & install just like these planks but do not contain PVC and release _none_ of the substances that typical vinyl tile does.

[@Rarehouseplants]

I am ready to install mine at the living room. Thank you for the video! Such big help.

[@AstrologerJoe]

Nice job! Thanks for video.

[@georgiaboot]

🔥🔥content as always!

[@joebinion1]

Great video,I really enjoy your videos,GOD BLESS

[@BYOTools]

Thanks so much for watching and the kind words.

[@mssixty3426]

I haven't even watched the video yet, but many thanks for this! I need to get rid of carpet, and haven't decided what to replace it with. I think it might be concrete underneath.

[@NavyCopMA1]

Checking out different flooring videos as I will be tiling two bathrooms over time. The rest of the house is wood so it limits the number of areas that end up looking 'wonky'. Need to get more shims though as I have significant gaps between the drywall and floor and nowhere to really butt the tiles up against to make sure they are solid and don't shift. Thinking of using some nails, once installed, before I add the trim as well.

[@BYOTools]

Don't know if there is a question in there for me but in any case thanks for watching and commenting Stephen.

[@NavyCopMA1]

@@BYOTools Not really a question but maybe.. Would you shim the ends of each row of tiles or just on one side to stop them from sliding as you add tiles? Or would you butt one side up against the stud plates (my walls are open up to the studs on one side of the room as I rewire and insulate as well)

[@balzacq]

I had 3 layers in my kitchen: 00's vinyl tiles, 70s sheet vinyl, and 40s linoleum tile. The sheet vinyl had asbestos and I had to spend a couple grand getting it removed. 😞I'm replacing the whole floor down to the joists so there was no way to leave it alone.

[@BYOTools]

Ugh! Thats rough Bryan. Thanks for sharing and that really does suck. Hopefully you are now at leased happy with the floor upgrade vs. what was there :)

[@balzacq]

@@BYOTools Nice flat Advantech OSB is going in instead of the 1930s squeaky, bouncy planks, and then oak on top, so I'll be very happy with it. When I eventually finish. 😀

[@evansauve5383]

Super helpful! What kind of camera do you use?

[@eszyx8062]

Hey Brent, Esteban here. Can you do a video on how to install carpet flooring? Since I found your video’s I’m really into renovating the house I live in :)

[@craigbrocchi]

What was the name of that Pergo tile? Is it a quality product and does it look realistic or does it have that fake laminate look. Great video, thanks

[@steveo5174]

Comforbilaty?

[@Hvacmike]

Good luck to whoever has to service that dishwasher in the future.

[@rayd4325]

Everything looks good except for one Major flaw. You forgot to create an expansion gap.

[@BYOTools]

good call out Ray and I should have mentioned something in the video about the importance of the expansion gap. However, I did discuss having an 1/8 to 1/4" of space along the walls when talking about the wall base. That should be plenty for a small floor install like this. Thanks for noting that and for watching.

[@Amy-dw7ii]

What do you say in the intro? "Let us start it?"

[@martharetallick204]

Let's get started.

[@Amy-dw7ii]

@@martharetallick204 thank you. It was driving me nuts trying to guess. I appreciate your help.

[@tvngo85]

Audio at 2:38 - 3:24 is not balanced, left is low and right is high.

[@BYOTools]

Thanks for mentioning that. I'm on it and have tried a couple different things to fix it. Obviously this new audio setup is for some reason way more touchy then my pervious one I've used. PROMIS it will be cleared up soon :) Thanks for watching.

Hello

[@BYOTools]

HI!

[@gwenwade6059]

... and so the princess dress wearers were able to grow up healthy and loved due to a hero dad!

[@3rdGenFireChicken]

I’m a floor tech and specialize in LVP I’ve never seen anyone start an installation off of cabinets and hope I never see it again. Not to mention the underlayment you installed just voided any warranty and the floor will probably fail now

[@RangersDaft21]

You shouldnt put extra underlay if tiles have underlay built in. You’ll void the warranty..and completely unnecessary

[@saljablo2767]

Good job. But that specific color scheme in a kitchen makes it look like it’s dingy and dirty.

[@BYOTools]

Nothing is going to help those cabinets Sal haha! New paint hopefully is in the plan for this client.
