I considered RevWood laminate for an update to our master bedroom and hallway. LVP was never a consideration. After much thought, I'm going to install engineered hardwood. I installed engineered hardwood 13 years ago in our kitchen, breakfast area, and main entry, and it still looks great. I agree, there's nothing luxury about LVP.

I have had a hole in my wood floor for 4 years (ironically from the chair where I used to sit to edit UA-cam videos early on), and I never realized it was this easy to repair! Thanks Larry

Looks like shit

The cut end goes agains the wall it gets covered most of the time with baseboard. Yea looks kind of hard to cut though, imagine doing this 500 times in a day

Good products. 👍

I installed a heavy yet brittle TG flooring from Lowe’s. Never, ever again. Constant chipping, impossible to interlock without issues! Fortunately it was only 200SF so when I Sh*t canned the product I was only out 800 bucks I’ve always used real wood that is generally more forgiving!

I will suggest not to put drywall in a toilet. Yes, it is much cheaper than tiles, and the result is much cheaper.

I had a 200 gallon salt water aquarium burst and flooded my living area. I replaced the carpeting with a thick Mohawk Laminate plank from a local flooring discount store. It was a DIY. There are some chips and a couple planks that have shifted (DIY issue) and it looks dated. Not worn and used, just style. It's been 20 years now on those floors. I installed it in the kitchen (high water risk area), living room and dining room. First time ever installing flooring. It has held up extremely well. Of those 20 years of use, the first 5 had a pair of Rottweilers and two kids. The last 15 years were renters with pets. I am starting a remodel/flip and will decide between LVT and Vinyl Planks. Cost and ease of installation will be the factor. I also installed LVT in a house in Hawaii as part of a remodel. It was the stiff version not the thin wavy strips. Looked nice.

25 years ago, I had Wilsonart laminate installed in our front entryway, living room, dining room, kitchen and hallway. It looks the same as the day it was installed, despite kids and an 80 lb dog. The planks were glued together, and absolutely no water damage has occurred with snow being tracked into the house or mopping. Shame Wilsonart no longer makes this.

I just finished another room that has a major hump in the middle of the room (approx 3/4" drop over 2'). I was concerned about using vinyl, given that everyone seems to say the floor has to be very flat for vinyl. But after thinking about it and laying a vinyl plank and laminate plank over the hump, I found the vinyl's flex is much better able to handle the hump on the floor than laminate. So I went with the vinyl, and it worked fine. It just flexed to the hump, sitting nice and flush on the humped floor. In fact, a vinyl plank will flex about 1.5" over 2', so about double the hump in my floor. I also found a few areas of up to 1/4" depression, which I had to fill in because the vinyl would not flex downward to the depressions nearly as well as draping over humps.

Installed laminate 5 years ago. Failed within one year. They fought the warranty when the top surface was breaking away because they alleged water damage. There was never a drop. Proof was the delamination was only on one side of each joint. Water would have destroyed both sides. The thin "particle board" tongues were fracturing, which cause the layers to separate. The reason for that was that they insist we buy their thin foam underlayment. ILL CONCEIVED! It is supposed to prevent slapping sounds but it compresses with weight on it. If you are standing one one plank, it goes down, maybe a tiny fraction of a millimeter, but that makes the flimsy tongue to the next plank carry your whole weight, shearing off the thin tongue. I think it might have survived if I omitted the underlayment, but that kills the warranty. They finally refunded my whole purchase price, but not the wasted labor. Many youtube videos from pros complaining of the same disasters.

Thank you Thank you Thank you for this video. I'm starting to shop for new kitchen floors, and this was so very helpful. I'm going with laminate due to its thickness and softer feel underfoot. And... it's now water resistant!

Can you sister a Rim Joist...HVAC guys made 2 3 holes for venting...i would feel more peace of mind if i can add something to it

Was going to do this in a front hall way. Does the edges start to roll up at all were they aren't taped together

Good thing he has the road side security vest in the living room. Wouldn’t want to get run over by a car installing flooring.

Thanks for your help. Glad there's people like you who share great advice and instructions. Thanks again you helped with my furnace problem.

Would like to see what it looks like stuffing the wires back in the box. Always interested to see how everyone else handles space management.

Glue down your LVP. Waterproof AND durable.

New here! Wondering what to do if you don't have an outlet nearby on the other side? Case in point, I'd like to install two exterior outlets a (one in the front of the home and one in the rear). In both cases, the locations that are ideal for usage aren't exactly close to another interior outlet. What do I do?

Definitely shaving cream for stainless steel and bathroom mirror. I would think that using it for outside of windows.. well, it's oil & would hold more dirt & dust.

"Luxury" is from Marketing, not Engineering.

Cheap vinyl planks, your concerns are 100% correct. High quality planks though are way stronger then laminate, easy to install, and guaranteed water proof

Put 1/2 drywall on top and your out 4 inches. Precious space. It’s a trade off. The difference in R value between 1 1/2 and 2” foam is 2.5 so very much negligible. You are only giving up 2.25 inches for an insulated exterior wall. Not bad.

Perfect timing. I have 5 different types of flooring on my main floor and I am getting ready to redo it all. 4 of those floors are laminate, one is carpet. The laminate in the kitchen was ruined due to a dishwasher leak that swelled the boards and then they shrunk. I said no more laminate, I need something waterproof. My daughter did LVP at her house. I was sold on LVP next, but now I may have to go with Laminate.

This is same as using the slip in connection on a receptacle. Not good

Tile in wet areas, finished in place hardwoods everywhere else.

good advice. i thought the wobble was due to my grand derrière

? WATERFROOF WOOD-BASED LAMINATE FLOORING ? 1. It will be WATERPROOF if it never comes into contact with water. 2. WOOD-BASED. That means that the major components of the floor are actually wood or wood byproducts. That could be solid wood, laminated wood strips or plywood, or wood chips and dust blended with resins or glue. Wood will never be totaly waterproof, no matter what you apply to it. EVER! 3. LAMINATE. Your driver's license is a piece of paper, that has been LAMINATED with a layer of plastic. Plastic Laminate, which is made from multiple layers of paper saturated with plastic resin and pressed under pressure into thin sheets. Some floorings are made with plastic Laminate applied to a wood substance. Plastic Laminate is water resistant, but it is not waterproof. EVER! Some " Laminate Flooring" appears to be some type of a wood based product that was wrapped with a thin plastic sheet, or even a melamine sheet. The wood core is never waterproof and can absorb moisture during normal use, and by improper cleaning. This can caused the core to swell, and can cause failure of the flooring. THINK OF IT AS PUTTING PLASTIC WRAP AROUND A SANDWICH! It will do a good job keeping it fresh, just dont put it in the dishwasher! Concrete floors are not waterproof, they are like a sponge. Tile with grout joints is not waterproof. Wood flooring is not waterproof. Laminate and laminated flooring is not waterproof. Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring is as close to waterproof as you can get. If you spill a gallon of water on it, water may get behind the flooring at the seams, but it should not absorb into or affect the performance of the flooring. Can't decide which flooring you want? Get small samples of different floorings and soak them in a bucket of water for a week. Take them out, inspect then, then decide!

Another option to take a look at is Ideal’s SPLICELINE® IN-LINE WIRE CONNECTOR model 42 orange . No levers needed. Great for short wires in my opinion.

the way you tested them are wrong, using cloth to remove carpet stain is like spreading the dirt

that home owner is smart

No way would I use those. It is safer extending the wires with wire nuts.

The 30 milliamp button is for testing an equipment ground fault device which should trip at maximum 30 milliamp compared to a class A GFCI receptacle which should trip at maximum 7 milliamp.

Thanks for the honest video and the time to make and share it. As someone else noted, if you brush on the somewhat matched paint and then feather out the edges, it will be just fine. Anything is better than the cracks and holes! Thanks!!! 👍

How's that going to protect against fire, it's plastic?

you guys don't sleeve your ground wires?

Would this work for a quarter size hole?

Love the tips and info! ❤❤❤

great tip thanks for share

I’ve had laminate and I’ve had lvp in my finished basement. The lvp by leaps and bounds was/is better.

Thank you. I figured it meant end of life of the product but just wanted to make sure as ours just went off saying END. Appreciate the video

Cheap j box

A little bit of heat shrink slid over the wago's would do great

Aw hell nah 😂

I'd tape the wago tabs down - but you don't have to.

Ive literally done it and we are moving in a month...

This is great content that every man need to be subscribe too.

Those little plastic plugs that fail, they’re not designed for dry wall. You use them in solid wood and concrete where the hole has stripped out, where we used to jam it with matchsticks. There are expanding butterfly inserts for drywall where they tap in, and the screw threads into the butterfly on the inner side of the wall, expands it and pulls it tight against the other side of the drywall, not even threading into the wall. Even removing them is hard.
