It isn't so easy to remove after the marker has been on the plank for a while.

I have a room that has baseboard heaters the entire length of two walls. I will not be able to lock those areas down with moulding. Im worried over time it will work loose and separate. Im installing on a slab. I was considering drilling and screwing that row in place. Thanks for advice!

    Prob a basic question which you've probably answered in another vlog - I'm looking at laying backed vinyl - is there movement in vinyl tiles/planks? Is it absolutely necessary to remove skirting board (your baseboard) to allow for this? I have a reasonably large area with many doorways and rooms so am dreading removing the skirting boards and reapplying.
    Love your vlogs. Very informative!!

    It looks like you call the side where the locking mechanism sticks out, the 'groove' and you call the 'slot' the tongue. I've always called them the opposite. Am I correct in understanding that you call the piece that sticks out and goes into the adjoining plank, the 'groove'? I've always understood that the 'tongue' sticks out and the 'groove' is a recessed slot that the 'tongue' fits into. Perhaps my eyes were deceiving me in the video at the 18:40 mark?

    Greetings from Michigan, I just installed The Vinyl plank flooring in our 1/2 bath, now Iam swapping the vanity for a pedestal sink. I’m unsure when it comes to securing the pedestal to the floor.
    Due to the expansion wouldn’t that cause issues by zipping a screw through the floor? I thought maybe drill a half inch hole in the Vinyl where I where I screw into floor joist and put a washer on it to allow expansion, I guess I shoulda installed Pedestal before installing floor

    Hi Joe- I have a question, the last pieces (vinyl) is about 1.25" from the walls (no matter where I start, I cannot have the last pieces more than 2" wide), Can I cut 1" wide along the vinyl planks to lock to the last pieces to cover the gap. The baseboards that I use are 1/2 " thick, even if I use 3/4" thick baseboards I still cannot cover the 1.25". So what is the best solution for this situation?
    Thanks!

    • @sothatshowyoudothat

      I usually base the layout from the hallway and from there start in an area that that will result in the least amount of working backwards in the rest of the house. Here is a video you should watch for working backwards - ua-cam.com/video/ZYKEJGdeS-s/v-deo.html
