@dawnc1419 You just finished calling him A MAN and then start carrying on about calling him a whimp for getting his feelings hurt by trolls. You're the one that needs to stop being a helicopter parent of this grown man, damn it !!! There weren't any trolls mummy, there some grown adults that called Jag out for not making the fire HE SAID he was a going tk make. He simply manned up , admitted he'd failed to keep his word, and promptly went outdoors to rectify the situation. ( Fuil marks Jay 👌👍👏👏takes a man to respond to being called out for failing to keep your word)!!!!! And JAY , I'm going to apologise for this dimwitted female who's treating you like a "PRECIOUS." So sick of these helicopter parents who want to wrap-up kids and adult men to protect them from someone having an opinion. And in this case she's insulted you big time!!! We're not all pathetic dim wits like her, there's plenty of us out here that appreciate a man. Manning up when he gets it wrong, admits it and rectifies it. There were no trolls and even if there were, I can't see why you can't deal with them. Trolls are not people with differing opinions to yours. It's unhealthy to live in "ECHO CHAMBERS" Dawn. These YT channels are exclusive to mamby pamby females who never had a critical thought in their lives. OK, Jay , I've chewed her out. Hopefully she'll stay shtum from now on. They're simply pitiful and an embarrassment to us all. P.S. that FIRE made it worth them calling you out mate !!!!!! It was a BLOODY BEWDY ..... in Aussie slang. 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👍👌✌️👊🇺🇸

There ain't no need to apologize. It's your house and your doing the work. Awesome work sir.

This is how you can tell someone is a pro, prep is king

I have 4 pallets of floor in my garage and dreading the back and knees.

Pro tip... put a thin but wide piece of wood or laminate between the wall and the tool that you use to remove the base boards. It'll further protect the drywall

I use my 4-6” drywall knife as a backer for the glazers bar or wonderbar for this. Also for removing misfired brads from good trim to prevent dents. Works!

Wholesome project for your whole family. Kudos on landing LOWEs as a sponsor. Deeply appreciate how you unpack what you do when you encounter challenges, make mistakes, and find solutions. Keep it up. I learn a ton.

If you get your floors straight and you do the minimum gap between the wall or cabinet you can caulk the gap with big stretch! My wife was adamant she didn’t want trim in the bathroom, it took forever to get my starting line measured out and it took some precision measurements and cuts but I got it laid down and then set tape lines and caulked and it looks amazing! Her only gripe is that the caulk line attracts dust ! I told her it would lol😂!

Modular not manufactured home. I have one too and want people to know the difference 😂. Great job on the floor!

Doing some job for your place is incredibly cool to watch! GLHF with this project. Keep doing this videos for yourself first, it is way much better to see the guy, who loves what he is doing in all ways❤

Great work Jason. Prep work is always the worst part of flooring jobs, but makes everything so much easier and nicer when you get to the install! Good work

Can't wait to see the new floor. I think it's going to be beautyful

Date night at Lowe’s! My favorite…

What a cool upgrade for your wife. Jay you rock dude!!!

Put a large putty knife behind your pry bar as well.

Having done 3/4" hardwood over three rooms in my late 60s, you did a great video hitting all the important topics. I even had to do self leveling concrete in the dinette. Again, best video of yours that I have seen.

Home improvement is the best content ever, keep up the amazing work 🎉

Jay well done. About the hardwoods, it’s simple: “Happy Wife, Happy Life”. I sure wish the saying was more like: “Happy Husband, buy him more tools”!

Slip a putty knife behind your pry bar to help from damaging the drywall. And use a set of dikes and pull the nail thru to save damage to face of trim instead of clipping them off.

The floor on your house is looking awesome, keep up the good progress Jay 😎😎💪🤙.

Best date night is one that stops at the local home improvement center to spend some money😁👍

For the problem at around 11:00 : take an old taping knife as protection for the dry wall.

Thanks for sharing 😊

Get yourself 1/4 plywood cut it the the toe kick size paint it flat black and nail it in after you do flooring. Will hide your edge. Have fun

It's always so enjoying to watch your video's! Your amazing! I only wished the remodeling of ray's house would go up to 200 episodes. Mis the duo, but you doing your thing definetly fills the spot!

I don't blame you on not refinishing the floors man. I did my brothers house and by the end of the process, I told myself never again.

Prep work is always the key to a good finished product. Many want a speculator end result but are unwilling to do the prep and finishing to get there. No complaints and always great to burn up some materials and relax at the end of the day as you plan the next.

Good luck, looking forward to seeing how the floors turn out. Idea for your bathtub project; have you considered something like Wedi, GoBoard, Kerdi board? If you could attach some framing to the floor you could probably cover that whole space with one sheet and throw up some tile or stone. If anyone actually does start using the tub it might hold up better than wood, given splashes and drips, and would look nice too.

Yeah! What that last person said….DITTO!!! You’re doing just AWESOME!

I give you props Jay. You are one hard working man. 👍

Hornswoggle?? My in-laws are the only ones I have ever heard use that word! 😂

I love my Cali floors. I put them in my old house and my current house. Most durable floors I’ve ever had. Held up to just about everything I’ve thrown at them over the years.

One flooring type and colour the whole way through is going to look sweet dude.

Legend! Did ray ever finish his kitchen!?

I done the same as you, with the buzz tool and the skirting boards when I put down the floor in our previous house. It definitely made the flooring look finished. Great to see the dogs helping you out, our dogs do the same, and lie down where we are working. Regards to you and family 👍

Crikey, you've put some work into preparing all the areas in your house for installing the Karui floor panneling Jay. Good on Lowe's for partnering with you to sponsor the project, Steps new floors are going to look awesome, looking forward to seeing the Karui flooring being installed on your next video. Cheers for the reel Ears.

Going to be nice

Hello Jay, I have been your follower since you had the channel with Ray, I really like your videos and although I don't speak English well, I watch it and I am also a subscriber to the Perkins brothers. I really like the art of construction and I have a good time with you. Congratulations and keep going. I see it from Guatemala, Central America.

Great color for the new flooring. You and Stephanie are going to enjoy it once it's done.

Jay you are a go getter, gotta hand it to ya’ Brother!❤

I love you're old floors, but you got to go with what you like.

Run the floors up the side of the tub!

its always a good day when Jay uploads!

I love watching videos..awesome content and entertaining. Love the jokes .

Congrats on the new flooring. Hope the project goes well as I know how much tedious work it is. I'm doing some cheap laminate right now on a rental and for removing caulked baseboards I actually found a 3" and 4" richard scraper worked really well for prying loose away from drywall and you can actually crank on the stiff ones without bending or causing drywall damage. Also for things like the door jambs its common to chisel the locking groove off of your piece and slide them into tight and awkward spaces with a puller or block and use wood glue on the joint to make things fit cleanly underneath the jambs. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to get them under spots like that without starting in that spot which never happens.

Top job! Can’t wait to see the finished result

Glad you posted this. I am planning to redo my base boards in my new house. I need these techniques.

I see you repainted the garage addition black again 😜

Well done. Looking forward to the next one!

Not giving you a hard time about covering your existing floors, I completely understand your wife's point of view and certainly the financial costs of refinishing the hardwood, but I do feel it's a bit of a shame to cover the hardwood and tile. I hope to build my own home someday and will have all hardwood and tile floors, no carpet anywhere, and truthfully any hardwood will be used as accent flooring, what I really want is waxed terra cotta tiles pretty much everywhere, softened by area rugs. Mostly for maintenance ease, I'm no spring chicken, hahaha.

Can’t wait for the next one!!!

Excited to see this one Jason. Wanted to mentioned, I imagine these LVP have a built in underlayment. But, I still think it might be a good idea to add a thin underlayment all over just to help even out and minor imperfections. The extra cushioning I found also made a huge difference in my house. My LVP floors I can stand on all day. In my tile kitchen, my heels really start to hurt if I'm cooking and cleaning for a few hours

We actually only work four eights . Friday and saturdays are kind of my days to work on my projects and around the house. Erik works on editing and things he needs to get done on Fridays and saturdays. Jaime does some personal things with his air B&Bs on Fridays and Saturdays. That allows us Sundays to make sure we have a full day of rest, church and to hang out with the families.

Nicest pallets ever. Probably doesn't even have an oily smell.

Jay, great choice on a floor that your better half wants. That's the right choice! Question: did you consider removing enough baseboard for the flooring throughout the entire house (like on the doors) rather than remove all trim?

@brycehinton7860

3 ай бұрын

You can't go under something on both ends of the flooring run. For example, you could leave the back wall and left wall baseboard but would have to remove the rest since the planks have to tip to click together. Then you would have to rip all the boards you removed to the height of the ones you cut off and left. It is easier to just take out the baseboards. The other option is to leave all baseboards and put Quarter round or shoe mold up. This is pretty commonly done by flooring installers because it's fast and they don't risk damaging the walls.
