So flooring installation sucks.

Lol, After all my whinning about wanting a new flooring... I get it. H is installing it. Awesome right? No he is a crazy perfectionist. It is taking forever. We have to bedrooms done. TWO!!! Loads of stuff is unhomed and I am losing my mind. Word to the wise flooring is a huge ass project.

Yes it is. We installed laminates in our upstairs 4 months ago. And we're still not done with the trim ... which is embarrassing, but whatever. We'll get it done when the temperature will allow us to stain and varnish ... so probably September or October.

I glad we aren't the only ones dragging on this project. I'm seriously considering calling my brothers and asking them to save me. Lol

What kind are you putting in? I'm trying to decide if I want to DIY or not.

It's a snap together laminate flooring. The product is easy. You basically have to move out everything you own (sucks like moving) and then rip out the old flooring before installation.
Well it would be easy if you are not crazy perfectionist like my H.
I swear to God it took him an hour to shop vac the nursery floor. LMAO
I am glad we bought a new house.

Installing flooring is no fun! We had ours done not too long ago and I feel like I still have things all over the place because of all the shifting!

When our contractor removed the old Pergo, they found tile underneath. It then cost us an extra $2 square foot to remove it As he was removing it, he found hardwoods under some of the tile. Who does that???

Tile over hardwood is a sin! Crazy people do that.

I shouldn't bemoan H's attention to detail. It has its purposes. He is an electrical engineer. Things need to be perfect at work. If you ever need a circuit board resuadered..... He is you man.

Ha, see above post. We tried to DIY this and gave up and hired it out. That hasn't been smooth either. I'm never doing another home improvement again.
