PROJECT #7 - LIVING ROOM LAMINATE FLOOR
BEFORE |
|
Some shots of the living room before the laminate project has begun.. At right is a shot of a section of carpet that had to be taken out some time ago, and it's been left like this ever since. Also addressed in this project will be this 'hole' in the ceiling which had a light at one time. It's been oddly covered over with tape and mud, but not well enough to hide it. |
|
During
The carpet is removed, along with the padding and carpet strips. On the bare plywood floor is placed a styrofoam layer to be both vapor barrier and sound dampening. It's an important project, so Priority Tape is used to seal the sheets. (Yes, that's a joke.) |
|
After
It only takes 3 days to get the laminate down. The edge next to the hardwood is trimmed in hardwood stained to match the laminate. The area of floor which was still hardwood is polished and left bare. And, lastly, the light is shown here where the hole used to be. |
