Stupid kitchen floor

[theENIGMATRON]

Am here for a rant lol.

Made a deal with landlord, you give me a decent kitchen floor an I'll fit it for him.

I get a nice new kitchen, he gets something that adds value at the end of it without paying labour to fit it.

Anyway what a fucking floor, oh yer it looks nice don't get me wrong, but its a jigsaw puzzle, you practical have to have a whole length of the room fitted in one piece in order for it to slot into the length that's already in place, two rows took me about an hour an a bit, that's cutting around radiator pipes too, but still a joke I find,

Maybe I was expecting it too be quicker, gurrrrhhhhh

rubber mallet, I got one from years ago when I laid my patio. Should have said, I could've posted it on.

Cheers Daz,
Might be a bit late now, am determined to finish this tomorrow, I'll need a mircile, the kitchen is massive, but don't want to come back from maga an have to touch the kitchen, painting high raised ceilings an endless walls was enough,

None stop grafting tomorrow an that leaves Friday to pack.

Saturday magaluf here I come woooooop lol

Nice cutting around the pipe
There's no way it'd be that neat if I'd done it...

Now if only someone would straighten that door

PMSL, Cheers

Yer pipes was anoyying, i had a really tight snug fit, but was worried about the heat of the pipes marking it, so had to do it again to make it a little wider

[Killzone_Kid]

You drill holes for pipes with 25mm drill bit, this allows for expansion. I hope your flooring is not a tight fit and you left a gap around perimeter, because if you didn't and it expands it will come up.

[theENIGMATRON]

Folded over Card in-between the floor and wall.
Just enough to get the tip of my little finger in.

Or more technical about 5mm all the way around.

[Killzone_Kid]

You might get away with 5mm depending on the size of the room. Just remember, it expands widthwise more then lengthwise.

[theENIGMATRON]

Fingers crossed lol!!

Well I kicked ass out of a massive chunk tonight
