This has been a lot of fun keeping an "eye" on the comment section over the last year. If you want to learn more about installing this type of flooring then just click this link to see how I deal with all the challenges including doors and the last piece at the end of the room. Thanks for watching! ua-cam.com/video/OJqk2iS_jyQ/v-deo.html
We want to install laminate on our entire main floor with NO transitions. Living room/ kitchen/ dining area/ family room and foyer. We have a stairway in the middle of all the rooms listed. Because the house will not be square, we are wondering when we come around that stairway are the boards going to line up ??
Do you have any advice for this ? Many thanks, we love the videos.
Dunno if you got that black eye from a wayward tool that struck, or from a night of drunken debauchery gone horribly wrong. I'm figuring you do these videos on a restricted budget so you don't normally have a makeup artist on set, but you should have considered getting one for this instance (preferably one that knows how to use an airbrush). All the same it's very easy to hide a shiner.
Dermablend and a blending sponge would have made short work of it though regular concealer and setting powder could do it with some practice. I'm a photographer and I once had a model that had a HUGE black eye after getting kicked in the face in a taekwondo match a week before I was scheduled to take photos of them. By the time the shoot came around the swelling had gone away but they had even worse discoloration than what you had. After they applied concealer you couldn't even tell they still had a black eye.
Oh well... if you got it from someone starting a fight with you, I hope you left them in worse shape than they did to you. :)
Good to see you still check out the comments. I had a question, I do a lot of basic installs but I have one coming up where I have to install a carpet and border it with laminate. Let's say it a 15x20 room and they want me to do a 2 foot square of laminate border around it. I'm wondering how I would join the corners to make them look square
@@DropDeadFrederick I doubt he cares about a black eye. People shouldn't be so judgemental. You automatically assume it's from a drunken fight when he could have just ran into something in the middle of a sleepless night. I've done it. Regardless this guy knows what he's doing. Has the tools. I'll take his advice whether he has a black eye or not
Can I rent that machine that cuts the laminate board?
Basic tools, hammer, tape measure, pencil, one good eye
one good eye is all you need. Cheers!
lolllll!
lol !
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY people are cruel but you are great for turning your cheek embracing it man your a bigger man than ill ever be
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY how'd you get the black eye? Just curious.
This video really takes D-Eye-Y to a new level..
With the new flooring installed, it's no longer an eyesore. Nicely done.
Hahahaha
I see what you did there
Me: "Hey home renovision, do you have a crew?? "
Home RenoVision DIY: "Nope - just me, myself and eye"
No he has a wife beater eye ; gotta watch that crazy woman they have a way of getting in those one
time sucker punches.

Hope it didn't disappoint. Cheers!
You took the words right out of my mouth
A Lefty punched him. Love the flooring advice.

Do you clean the floor afterwards with a good Shiner!
Me, 4 seconds in: "I should scroll down and check the comments" I wasn't disappointed. Seriously, great video. You make it look easy! Thanks
Ok, comments are funny. But I liked this guy's delivery and expertise on laminate flooring. He's a cool guy. Good video. Next time you go to the bar bring me with you to watch your 6! ;)
Me too. I like this guy. He makes all DIY so easy.
Na... Thats definitely a right cross.
Hey we all noticed the black eye but what we didn't notice was the awesome instructional video this guy made and continues to make on a regular basis. Thank you for this video!
Thanks and Cheers!
Eye found this very helpful, thanks.
Hit like if you're not even watching just laughing at all the comments🤣🤣🤣
😂 I don't mean to laugh but that is sooo true
Just checking comments hahhahaha
😂😂
I can't stop laughing and my side is killin me. LOL. This guy is probably very knowledgeable but I can't take this sh%t serious.
Eye dont know how eye made it through this whole video...🤔🤔😶
I came here for knowledge, left with tears in my eyes.😂
Me too. I haven't this much in a long time. These comments are great!
I can't stop crying!
Great stuff feels like I'm at the jobsite with my pals 😂

jesus cabral TO TEACH PPL TO DO THINGS THEMSLVES AND FOR SOM1 LIKE ME WHO IS JUST STARTING AS A TRADES MAN IN MULTIPLE TRADES.
@@tyrickawilcox7965 I believe it's the vapor barrier he shows in his recommend products if you follow the amazon link he provides in the description. Once you get to the amazon page for the actual product its about 18 cents a square ft and sells in $18 rolls.
Do you have to have a black eye to install this type of flooring?
Shaun J 😂😂😂😂😂

All eyes matter

Rick Snapp Lol Happy wife, happy life. 😂
Rick Snapp 😂🤣💀
Eye totally understand flooring now, thanks
Hello everyone, I have recently added 2 underpads to our Amazon store that are a great value and will perform really well. The first is for in between living spaces to absorb sound and the other one is 3mm with a vapor barrier for on concrete.
Click here for a great price: amzn.to/2ySCGMO
Home RenoVision DIY : what happened to your eye???
Yeah but what about the eye?!
If I want to install this over tile, do I need an underpad. And would it be the same as concrete
Black eyes matter
One thing you did wrong, you never put the pieces right next to the wall you always give them a little bit os space to expand due to temperature changes, i had to reinstall a 2 big rooms with the same floor because they were to.close to the wall and expanded making some parts of the laminated floor to lift in areas that w8 was not applied, it was a pretty simple job, just let 1,5 cm from each wall on the upside of the board, and less than 0,5 on the sides
I honestly don't know why your videos have such a low amount of views. The content is amazing, I can't tell you how much it's helped me out through my first home.
We are actually quite excited about our growth. We plan on continuing developing videos for the next few years at least. In my business we could never run out of things to discuss. Glad you have found them helpful.
Great video thank you :)
Because not many people do DIY stuff, And a lot of the people that do, Already know how to do this stuff.
Those who think this is a great video say "I"
eye thought it was good too
I
Eye..
"I"
Aye-eye!
Doing this the first time in a small kitchen and this video is exactly what I needed to see to understand the job. Well done!
I have watched his videos before and they are excellent. I see that this one was about laminate flooring so I started watching it. I immediately think, "Wow, did he smack himself in the eye installing some of this laminating flooring? Did he get his butt kicked? Why is he not telling us what happened to him?"
Out of curiosity I pause the video and go down to the comments to find out what happened. It's ten minutes later and I am still coughing from laughing so hard!
ME TOO LOL
You really make what you do easy to understand. Best teacher in the biz!
Thanks Jason, appreciate the comment.
Should I hit the like button or his good eye?
TooleralusAEnima yessss 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Loooooool
Apart from the comment section full of eye catching comments I really want to thank you for so many good advises. I did need them as I plan to makeover the floor in my house by myself. Great video.
Follow this man to see how to prevent your flooring from looking like an eyesore. I swear, each video is a sight to behold. Remember to always wear your protective gear!
There's something different about this guy... but eye can't put my finger on it! 🤔
This comment is even better if spoken like James T Kirk.
Please try not to put your finger on it. OUCH!!!
hahahahahahaha! i'm crying hahahahahaha
...or your fist lol
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Or maybe even Bone's "Damn It Jim!".
Best laminate flooring instructional video I've watched yet. I feel like I can easily do it after watching this. Thanks!

Very practical, very good tips - and no time wasting. This man is obviously very experienced, and very good at what he does. I learned something from him that will help in my own flooring project. Thank you :-)

These comments made me laugh so hard it cured my cancer
Love the channel, we have redecorated and renovated over lockdown(S!) And you have been my go to for each new project, painting through to tiling and bathroom redesign, today was....flooring 🤣 thanks for the amazing videos and help!, next projec's/bits on the list is to board the loft, paint all the cielings tile the kitchen floor and then... I'm sure the wife will think of something 🤣🙅♂️
Eye had to watch this video twice in order to focus on the flooring and instruction. But Eye managed to see the point. Eye got this!
This was so helpful. You’re a great teacher/explainer!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. But I had to stop this 34 sec's in. I just had to read the comments. LOL
I started at 5 secs😂
This was such a great installation video, I forgot all about the 🎯 until the comments. I left with knowledge and tears! Thanks for a great video!
This guy shines above them all
You should have a tape measure... Pencil... a hammer... a black eye...
And don't forget to let the whole world in on the joke.Cheers!
Bwahhhhh omg lol lol jajajajajaaaa
Nice video, thanks as always for the great instruction...just one question: do we need safety goggles?! Eye just wasn't sure you'd had enough ribbing over this yet!
Cheers and Touchee!
First off love your work! I applaud you for going on with your tutorial KNOWING you were gonna get killed in the comment section. I appreciate the personal sacrifice in having to endure the jokes. Keep up the good work!
Eye came here to learn how to floor. Eye now know much more than before. Thank you for the vid! Eye appreciate it!
Hubby and I are looking into ripping up carpet and switching to laminate came across your vid thanks for the info!! Will definitely remember your tips.
Nice project. Check with your local flooring wholesalers for underlay. Most retail outlets sell cheap underlay at double the cost of a premium product at a wholesaler. You can get ten times the quality at half the price.
THIS IS ABOUT THE 3RD VIDEO I LOOKED UP ON INSTALLING FLOATING FLOORING..YOU GET TO THE POINT ...OTHERS LIKE HEARING THEMSELVES TALK ....LOL
Why is the comments so funny I'm sitting here trying to rebuild my floor while laughing at the comments 🤣😂🤣😂
Great flooring video, I installed my kitchen floor and it’s separating because I goofed it. First time doing it and I didn’t have this video before. Also, appreciate the detailed information.
What an EYE opening experience. Thanks!...
Thanks for offering this excellent video! I really don't know why someone would "thumbs down" one of your videos , but maybe they're all from floor installers! lol
most likely. I get haters that don't like me educating home owners.
It was probably the guy He fought lol
rneustel haha🤣🤣
You really should use your tape measure instead of eyeballing it.
Lol 😆
😂😂😂😂
HI IAM U.K ENGLAND AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY YOU MAKE THINGS REALLY SIMPLE AND YOUR EXPLANATION ARE EXCEPTIONAL VERY BASIC AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU.
Cheers to the U.K.!
You've got an eye for flooring. Thank you.
"You should see the other guy" xD
At a boy. Respect the first rule of Fight Club.
Thanks. Cheers
You just broke that rule.
This should be the top comment! Lolz
Haha
First rule of fight club. "Do not fight on Laminate flooring".
Great video. I checked out HD video and it was very very basic. You show how to actually do the job. Great work. I will be watching more and more as I work through projects in my house.
I am not gone lie, the comments puts me in tears!!! Love this channel anyway!
I’ve learned nothing. I was just looking at his eye the whole time.
Not a complete waste of time!
Ahahhahaha
xtinegm😎
LOL
xtinegm and read the comments 😆😆
I would pay just to know what happened to his eye xD
Kyle Tiger bar fight
His boy friend hit him
Women hit hard.
Thanks for the video i just bought some floor pretty similar to this one it was very helpful.
A year ago my husband and I watched this (we had a child on the way and were installing a new floor dor his room) we laughed at the comments but found this video super helpful. Today we saw a random video of yours watching a bunch of DIY's and my husband instantly recognized you as "that guy with the black eye" 😂
I’m still eyeing this video!
Do the next tutorial with 2 black eyes you'll have double the views 🤣🤣🤣 jokes aside, nice channel, subbed!!
This was Eye opening. Eye am in the process of buying a home and Eye really like this type of flooring.
This was incredibly informative. Thank you ☺️.
This may be the funniest comment thread ever. Great video too brother.
Thanks Brian, cheers!
We are laughing with our souls in the most quiet possible way because our baby is sleeping but we cannot stop we are dying 🤣🤣🤣
Holy SHINER bud! What were you saying again?
My first project with laminate flooring... Thank you for the video- I am more confident now.
Cheers, you should watch our other flooring install videos , there are a ton of tricks and tips there for you as well. Cheers!
Thank you for taking the time to show how to do this, really appreciated here in Texas.
Cheers to Texas!
You did not waltz into this comment section without makihg a joke, did you...
Great video...thank you!!
Thanks Alex.
Really enjoy this guy and his way of teaching
I appreciate you taking the time to comment:)
His other bids are great too

This is amazing thanks so much. I loved this
Thanks for this video. I can't wait to try it myself. For the first time!
Somebody took the smash the like button too literally
LOL.
i just came to see the comments about him getting punched
more of head butt to the eye.
Alex Francis 😂🤣
Alex Francis i think i showed him not to mess with me!
One of my favorite videos. Surely was an "eye-full"
Thank you for this tutorial, I just finished installing new flooring in my room. This was very helpful.
Glad to be of help. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY now I just gotta go back to Lowe's to cut the last row of laminate longwise since I only had a hand circular saw and I don't want to have a crooked edge.
Very helpful, floor looks great.
Thanks Gerald.
Rule #1 of fight club
Thanks for the laugh this morning. Appreciate it!
nightmarejr Is to duck, doge or run
Laminate is better to wrestle on, Jeff is done boxing.
Do not talk about Fight Club
Very nice Thank you
Love your videos. Just wish I had found them before I did my first reno!
Oh my goodness! I'm a new fan since I've only recently found your channel. But I see this video is 2 years old and still see you haven't told us what gave you a shiner. Curiosity is killing us. I guess the stories we envision could probably be funnier than the truth.

No, mama. The search continues.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Has anyone learned as much from this video as eye have.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice shiner..what a eye opening video!
Thanks for this! A lot of videos just talk about how it's snap and click, but watching yours I started seeing some of the challenges - and then you immediately addressed them! I feel a lot better about my project after watching this
