I love the forearm forklift! Complete gamechanger.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Yes

[@blacksaxcam]

I sure like listening to someone who really, deeply knows what they're doing!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

😀👍

[@floored3145]

Nice job. Wide open area it's easy to maneuver appliances, I always seem to get 30in doorways to get a 32in fridge out of, have to slide it sideways on a moving blanket most times

[@mufuliramark]

Super impressed with those forearm forklifts

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

I still use them very often

[@sitcomchristian6886]

Regular homeowner here, they are wonderful :)

Nice! I’ve always used strips of luan in the past, but the thin LVP is a really good idea.

[@lucasreuss3170]

Always easier with help! I do it myself and have to get pretty creative sometimes

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

i hear you i went for over a year with no help

[@TheSands83]

I made some jacks that go underneath n have two wheels on each jack then I strap them together around the fridge n they lift up about 3-4 inches off the ground n I can wheel it around anywhere.. people always say there’s no way u can move it by yourself.. I’m a small guy n I go in a move huge fridges China cabinets etc in a few minutes like nothing 😂 they sell some similar but I made my own that sit directly on the floor initially so I barely have to get what I’m moving picked up at all.. n fridges I don’t have to lean it or anything to get underneath.. they slip right under each side n u strap them around it together then I have a little bar that I use to jack it in there 3-4 inches..

You’re welcome

[@yenniebear]

You saved me a trip to the store! I am installing luxury vinyl plank so I will be using those scrap pieces instead. Thanks for the tip!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Awesome, good luck with your project

[@shawnmoore5621]

That's a great idea!

[@carpet180]

👍🏻 I Usually use the 4 foot appliance sled pads with the handles, or a dolly or combination of both. I seen you had some in your van also in the last video.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

CarpetMan yes sir 👍

There is a clip on the water supply tube that should have been attached to the fridge to keep the tube off of the floor.

[@andybrace4983]

Amazing

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

thank you

[@boots7859]

$40 dolly from HF also makes a lot of things easier. Nice tip with the flooring.

[@goatbucket]

nice

[@carldickinson5812]

Brilliant I’m getting Lino fitted tomorrow morning, and moving the appliances back in was worrying me a bit but after this video am sorted 👍

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

[@dhall64911]

so much better than buying $50 piece of plastic. I can just use my old flooring that I am getting rid of!

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

[@tammytlingit4662]

How do you do ot by yourself

[@JagoffCitizen]

Do American fridges not have to be left for a few hours after moving before they're plugged in? In UK the coolant has to settle for 5 - 8 hours or you end up with a tepid fridge.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Only if you lay them on their side. If you keep it up right, there is no problems.

[@corbyndallas366]

Hey Rueben you posted a video about hardwood tools by Pro Comfort Flooring Tools...do you have the link to their website please I can't seem to find it...thx man!

[@galaxi407]

How do I lay laminate under a removable gas stove? It's attached by a chain and pipe at the wall so it can only move out a certain distance to get behind and clean etc.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

You have to disconnect the gas and move it completely out, otherwise you can adjust the front legs up on the stove and the back legs down and only put it under the front of the stove so that it appears to be all the way under, or you can pull it out far enough to drop a board down behind where it will lay flat to get the back legs on that board and then install your flooring under the front That will also keep it level

[@IFNH8UALL]

Have you ever seen an air sled? Best thing I ever bought. Basically turns any appliance into a hovercraft.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

yes sir they are great

[@Airsled]

@@FloorsbySouthernboys we agree!

[@CarpetMuscleTV]

Nifty. 😀😀😀

[@stephenboyd2368]

without help i use unilifts and create a trail to roll on with vinyl planks

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Stephen Boyd That’s what I used to do when I was by myself

[@jameslick5233]

Did you remove the quarter round before installing the vinyl?

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

James Lick yes sir

[@frijolito2123]

I do the same. But i use a dolly because i work by my self

Yes, pry it up under the legs, sometimes it will get stuck from grease and such

[@mostlikelywedoitservices6926]

Just tape the line to the back of the machine.

[@williammolchan3883]

Just get a Crain air lifter

[@williamb2854]

Just a suggestion...if you have a gas stove..I would highly recommend replacing the gas flexible line and differently have a licensed professional install the stove. You will have a bad day if you have a gas leak...just saying.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

William B yup

[@ahoron]

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

ahoron Those are nice

[@toys2work]

Hm....i can see doing this heavy lifting everyday wearing out a few body joints eventually. I suppose i can see paying appliance delivery guys extra...just like the much glamorized (and paid more) piano movers.

[@Anthonythesider]

#1 your a floor installer you shouldn’t be touching any water lines.#2 why didn’t you use masonite board to slide the frig back , not all fridges will be that lite

[@drchunkybiscuit9973]

Bad back. What bad back? 🤔😬
