This is going to be a flooring picture-filled post...get ready!!
This amazing board match-up under the door was measured and fitted by my amazing sister!!! She should have been an engineer - she thinks (and measures) just like my Dad!!! She matched these up perfectly!!!!
This is her position for most of the day!! She was chief engineer and she helped me sooo much!!! We got a ton of flooring done!!! It was like working with a professional!!
This is a view from where we stopped for the day! We worked for an entire day and only had about 20 feet left when we quit. We could not bend over one more time that day! I am SOOO grateful for her help!!!
After we quit working we hit Eat n Park for our free super burger!!! It was free since the Steelers had a sack in the second quarter of the game on Thursday!! Everything tastes better when it is free!!!
Later in the weekend, after my sister went home and my body got a little rest I decided it was time to start tackling those transitions. Transitions are where your flooring meets tile or cabinets, etc. I have watched many videos and I bought the four way molding to make my job as easy as possible as I have heard horror stories about installing these things.
I bought a concrete drill bit to drill holes to screw the track in and the concrete would not cooperate! So I called Pergo and they said I could attach the track with liquid nails also.
Dad to the rescue! He brought me a tube but said he was not sure how old it was. I cut it open and it was hard as a rock - LOL!
When I looked at the bottom I saw why! LOL! Expired in 2004! HA!
I loaded up some of the extra boxes of flooring (I bought 84 boxes and only used 45 so far - LOL! I WAY over estimated what I would need) and headed to Home Depot to return them and get a new liquid nails.
I ended up with this instead....sounded much better! LOL!
And these...I'll explain later in the post...
So I got to work on gluing down the transitions...Here is the Pergo to Pergo...
I also installed all the white molding around the baseboards for the part we had finished and painted any scuffed areas. A lot was finished!!! Here is a close up of a closet transition.
So, the vinyl shown above...I decided that I should update my bathroom vinyl before I installed the transition to the Pergo so I selected new tile and completed that as a side project! I love how it turned out!
Before...(the white was very scuffed up)
PS-Update on the dishwasher craziness~I just got a call from the Lowe's installers insurance company today and they are now investigating! UGH!! Again, never use Lowe's for appliance install! They will damage your home and you will wait FOREVER for them to fix it! The destruction happened on 7/27/18 and we are still waiting to get paid!!! CRAZY!!!
