gotta lay some flooring today......??????
 

I'm staring at my kitchen floors.......don't even know where to start. I'm putting down brick pavers, my wife insists on the herringbone pattern, guess its a fake it till you make it kinda thing.........I can tell already this is not going to be fun......think ill start where the fridge goes and hope for the best.........

I called them awhile back. Was looking for tile with a brick pattern on it. They didn't have it, besides I got this real brick for 3.50 per ft!

you should start in the middle and work your way out.

I think you are supposed to start in a corner and work out

The times I've laid flooring down, we started from the middle and went outwards.

Yall are posting this every 30 minutes is killing poor Dink, 1st he starts under the fridge, then pops up comes start in the middle, tears it all out & starts in the middle, then pops up start in the corner, tears it all out & starts in the corner, then hear we are back in the middle again!!!! I heard Dink screaming from my house!:*****::D

Let me say this, I have never laid flooring, I have however laid probably a mile or 2 of steel grating and deck plate. We alway start in the middle and work our way out. If I was to do a room i would go to one end of a wall and mark a center line, go to the opposite end and mark a center line, pop a line between the two points and work off of that, you can't go wrong.

thats how we all ways did it, find center of room and pop a chalk line

This is exactly right and it wouldn't hurt to dry lay a bit first. Thanks for giving us a shot at your business tho Dink but that is the only flooring we do not sell. If you have any other questions feel free to call me 6543294.

Thanks W you could have made some commission on that one. Lol

3.50 /sqft? real old bricks cut to a venneer or a pre made 1/2" paver lemme know cus we can get my brick man to slice you thin peoices of old brick it looks great

Have it in my house, pain in the AZZ to lay but looks really good, I just did straight runs.

I decided to play Madden 10 all day instead.........I feel so productive.......I was going to start in the corner at the lazy Susan and work my way out, cut around the island and keep going. Then I started looming g at where it would meet the wood floor. People will see that more than where it meets the cabinetry, so was thinking I'd start there...................ugh...........pox, hey are the 1/2in Pavers, very pretty

I quit looking g after an hour, I pit some down dry, then picked em up, pretty much how you described........I'm sure the dog thinks I've lost it

heres a pic of a kitchen we did with the old st louis bricks cut into 1/2 " slices also if it is higher where it meets the wood floor i can custom make you a transistion strip molding out of what ever your wood floor is

Wow, that is pretty!!! Can't wait till I'm finished, will post pics soon........wait till y'all see thecabinets Shane(Cabwiz) made us!!!! Your going to rip your out and tell your wife they fell off so you can get some!!!!

Thats a sweet kitchen I could chop the hell out some onions on that 3X10 island, the floor looks good too.

Pox.........that island on top of the brick or is it bricked in???

bricked in originally it was gonna have dirty top heart pine floors but the owner decided he wanted brick floors instead so normally when we form the house we make any area that is gonna have brick floors a drop form which is recessed 3.5 inches to receive mortar and bricks sense this was not planned from the start we decided to slice old bricks 1/2" thick and use them for the floors
