What did you accomplish today?

[Bareback]

I've been looking down at flooring as i travel for the last 3 months, seeing what's worth getting. Flooring is something I'll spend more on.
Most of the moderate cost laminate plank flooring for kitchens and hall areas is crap. It just can't take everyday traffic thru doors and passages.
You see the edges wearing out faster than cheaper linoleum tiles because the usable coating is just too thin, or damaged in heavy traffic areas.

The heavier laminate like Armstrong for commercial traffic is great but I don't like the texture, the wood/laminate Pergo looks and feels great, really hold up to heavy traffic.
I'll probably go with that unless I find some engineered planks I like.

If traffic wear is the deciding factor, you should consider commercial vinyl plank like centiva I’ve installed thousands of sf in the highest traffic areas possible with furniture being drug across it daily and no damage ( think college students. ) . It’s not for comfort but it’s indestructible. Just mop and go.

I’m cooking collard greens, cornbread, pork chops and fried sweet potatoes. It’s smells so good in the house right now…..I’ve got a little erection from anticipation or a pee hard, it’s hard to differentiate .

... and if the weather cooperates manana ...

And of course Mommy Nature decided she was in a shitty mood today.

We have had these pretty substantial streamers off Georgian Bay since early in the AM that has nailed us. I already cleared about 1' of snow before lunch ( shout out to Cub Cadet ... ) and another 4" has fallen - and is still falling. And natch - I am not trudging through over 1' of new snow with a nicely sharpened MS250. Gonna have to wait till next Sunday methinks.

Interestingly - about 30 minutes west of us barely received anything. Gotta love lake effect snow.

As long as you don't pee in your potatoes ...

What kind of flooring do you have in the rooms abutting that kitchen? Gotta worry about transitions.
Unless you’re also doing an adjoining room in hardwood/engineered, i would either do tile or the new luxury vinyl plank flooring if you can.

I’m not doing that again.

I also made some all rotten taters ….. because I eat all the sweet potatoes fresh off the stove.

Both abutting rooms are wood flooring, 3" hardwood strips.
LVP in a kitchen area is what I want, easier to maintain and clean than the wood laminate.

That's what I noticed too, it's the only stuff that takes a beating.
I keep looking at commercial traffic areas, seeing what holds up and that is good stuff.

Nice! Shouldn’t be too hard to find the right underlayment thickness to nail down before the thinner LVP and or to find the right transition between the two. Personally, i always try to make both floor coverings finish the same height

When did you say your final is?

 

[Aeroknow]

When did you say your final is?

I’m waiting on the building dept.
I had submitted a change on the plans(deck) and i thought for sure they would have approved by now.
They have til the end of the month. Fuckers.
As soon as its approved which it will be, i’ll call for the final

That sounds good. I'm busy upgrading my server, sigh. But I happen to have this nice joint of Wedding Cake nearby! Who needs to be sober to roll a new server, not me! Ok maybe me. I'll let y'all know in a bit.

... Who needs to be sober to roll a new server, not me! ...

Not me either!! I've been tuned many times during server upgrades. Last Thursday afternoon to be precise ... three servers each received an upgrade of the main release, 2 feature packs and 2 Hot Fixes - all after a 1 1/4 cone.

Hand watering my 12/12 from seed girls. Several strains perpetual always. Fun and work on my hill today. Warming starting today and collecting fresh rainwater Wednesday and Thursday. Won’t be below freezing at night the next ten days.

I just put 2 more plants in my flower tent. Chopping 2 down next weekend looks like.
