Glad the good luck has visited you Bill!! Keep up the fight.

WVO--what type of laminate floor are you putting in? I called my bil in the biz (we were partners in the biz) and what my wife wanted was $4.25--his cost. I say ok, sounds good--order 1100 sq. ft. My wife found it on ebay(thank god before he placed the order) for $.59/sq. foot with a pallet (1300 sq. ft.) min purchase

Yes, walking puts a diet into overdrive. i did it too once upon a time but I've lost my walking/balancing skills for now. I can walk short distances with a cane but that's about it. Looking forward to improvements in that area too.


Thanks for the encouragement Mistress and Mr. Doe!

Not to sound like an AH. But:
The only laminate flooring I’ll put in my house.

Uniclic by Quick-Step
It’s made in Belgium.

I’ve worked with just about everything they offer at the local DIY superstores.
Nothing they have, even comes close.

As for cost. Don’t ask. It ain't cheap.
I got lucky, and traded some flight time for one heck of a supply. Just over 4500 sq.ft. of the stuff. Did the kids rooms, toy/play room, office and media rooms first. Now the family room to start the down-stairs. Next - The entry, hall, living and dining rooms.
Awesome stuff to work with. HIGHLY recommended.

Rained here most of the day. Mostly uneventful so far.

A customer owed me money, shut MY office door in my face.

I broke through it. He backed off, but a piece of door laminate cut his face. Scared the **** out of him. I broke my nose and my hand.

Such is the car business. We made up and I got my check. Friends for life.

note to self:

NEVER buy a car from this man..........without cash.

I bought a commercial auto detail biz. The car dealers are great, ditto smaller used lots. The problem people are the wholesalers. Drunks, coke heads, on third wife, --- you name it.

I totally lost my cool and almost lost a customer. He has a history of being an pia. Funny thing is tha one hour later, we shake hands and agree to work together -- and move on. Fine with me.

Edit: Purpose of my post is not to be a tough guy, but wanted to vent. Really bad day. One of the worst in a looooong time. Move on....

That is hardcore.. makes me think of like the terminator walking through walls or something

Didn't see this yesterday . . .

Took a vacation day. Brought the W202 to the upholstery shop for a new headliner; the old was starting to flutter like a sail in the breeze. Cabbed back to my place. Surfed, found I'd won a couple of eBay auctions.

After lunch, upholstery shop called. All done -- and they'd found what had been causing my persistent rattle over bumps: an acorn, trapped between the sunshade and the roof (!).

Cabbed back, picked up car. Wonderful to drive after the floatiness of the Crown Vic cabs. No rattle yet!

Evening, read a 1963 Alfred Hitchcock collection of supernatural/crime/suspense stories. Good stuff. . . .

I was chillin with some friends down at Seacrets in OC MD.
First ferry over. Last one back. You should have joined us.
If it's any consolation, it was hot there too.

I understand that place is pretty wild.

I'm just putting it in the girls' rooms upstairs for allergy reasons. When they grow up it will be gone. Tarkett 25 year product so it isn't that bad. We live in a somewhat significant historic property and could never put anything but the period hardwoods in the formal upstairs and entire downstairs areas. Barter system is great, no?
