    Thanks. I'm pretty proud of it. The only experience i have Is 2 days at floor skills, before that I had not even seen it being fitted. That being said it was an easy start and I'm looking forward to progress to something a bit more interesting. :)

    Like Tone said he wanted to put a border and wait til the units were fitted but his parents chose not too. Still a great job though and nothing's never easy on your first attempt.

    Well said mate.

    I read the first comment saying easy and with me knowing that the only time 'tone' has touched LVT was at FloorSkills i think he has done very well. Looks better than a lot of fitters work i have seen including the odd pictures on here where the floorlayer claims he has been installing for years !

    First time or 100th time, i dont actually think it is that easy a instal either. Pain in the arse and time consuming one against normal tile or plank.

    Well Done 'Tone' im proud of you, especially considering only 2 days experience at FloorSkills has help produce this, makes me proud that mate.

    my first tiling job was a little toilet in Amtico stardust or whatever they're called just straight lay 4 tiles wide 8 tiles long. All whites were in no border just skirting and the bloke who trained me was a great floorlayer gave me a straight blade knife a pair of dividers and sent me on my way. Obviously I was shouting into the next room every 30 seconds haha.

    I'd just like to point out when I said to easy I wasn't being serious LVT isn't easy full stop or everyone would be doing it ! Please take my comments with a pinch of salt
