      Thanks so much for mentioning that Roger and YES you are 100% correct. This is an old video series but it was broken up into three different videos and I wanted to repurpose it to be one cohesive video structure so all these valuable tips are in one video. FULL disclosure to be honest with the BYOT audience is that I'm having some difficulty with a current project that is taking longer then expected to complete. Don't want too many weeks to go by without a post so I occasionally repurpose old videos that deserve a re-edit in order to make a more cohesive video structure like this one for larger projects. Hope that makes sense and thanks so much for watching and all the support.

I am open to any suggestions or guidance you can offer. Thanks in advance!

      Not sure you need to glue if you are laying a "floating floor". Also considering this chap does not allow for expansion, he is demonstrating a total lack of knowledge.

    You use words like "exactly", "perfectly", "extremely", and "very" wayyyy too often, you should try to cut down on them
