  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Flooring options - need recommendations and opinions

I’m going to have to figure out what extra tools etc I’ll need
With Vinyl all you'll need is a measuring tape, hammer, a miter saw/chop saw(preferably), and a block or something to help snap the pieces into place.
A chalk box also too help establish your straight-line of your walls.

I had mine redone 7ish years ago in the kitchen, the old peel and stick tiles were starting to lose adhesion around the corners. Used LVP and discovered a website, from local cigar lounge guy, that will save you a huge chunk on all the name branded material. I'll have to find what the site was though! I even called around local and their prices were all within msrp range. The installation looked easy, paid someone to peel off 4 layers of floor to the asbestos layer, was like going through time. I believe they just scored the boards to length when needed with a knife and they would just snap right in two, then interlock with the others.

here it is... https://www.carpet-wholesale.com/index.html

You have to request a price, and you will see, if you shop around the same SKU, they are much more affordable. They ship freight out of Georgia I believe. Had it delivered to work, since they have dock doors for delivery and saved some on shipping.
get some quotes myself. Thanks for the link

I went through the same thing last year and ended up going with LVP throughout the main area, then tile in bathrooms and laundry. It’s held up great with dogs. I had the install done by https://emersonproservices.com/carrollton/ —solid crew, showed up on time, worked fast, and pricing was fair. If you're in the area, they might be worth checking out.
