    You are a savage breed of human beings!!!

    Took me all weekend to lay my underlay/flooring/beading and i am a broken man.

    I can hardly move this morning.

    Ive got aches and pains in places i didnt know you could get.

    How you guys do it all day everyday is beyond me...

    I tip my hat.

    **When i say all weekend, i mean all - 6.15am-8.45pm Sat and 8.15am-9pm last night.

    What type of laminate was it ?

    I fitted some cheap and nasty on saturday and it makes the job 10x harder.

    Well done for giving it a go

    Krono Vario Light Varnished Oak 9748

    The actual laying of the planks was lovely - great click system, eben the mrs helped!

    Cutting around obstacles and working out how to snap a board in a row while also trying to get it under the door architrave was my biggest headache and took me sooooo long!

    And then cutting the beading was the final nail in the coffin (but i was aching so much i could hardly move so thats probably also a factor that slowed me down yesterday afternoon).....I mean who takes 5 hours to cut and fit 14 lengths of beading????? Well your talking to him!

    :)

    Don't worry even us fitters have trouble sometimes with opposing doors etc. That's when a little modification comes into play lol
