Took me two days and $100 to lay laminate and trim. Much easier to keep clean now and looks classier. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick n Andi Rexhall American Clipper 29': 2005 Suzuki Samurai; 1994 Jeep Wrangler 2005 erniee • View posts Weatherford, Texas 76086 Senior Member Joined: 11/21/2000 View Profile Offline Posted: 04/16/12 09:45pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator trying to get the word out- check my profile and link Ernie Ekberg, Bluebird Wanderlodge genesimmons • View posts n.c.

Looks great and was easy to install. Used a two by four and a block of wood to lift sofa,undid the bolts on the toliet and slipped the laminate under. Ripping out the carpet was the work. Good Luck you can do it.

I guess some people (us) are spoiled, and like soft, warm carpeting under foot at night and in the morning. Yea, yea, I know, you can put down throw rugs. You know, they make this new invention called a "Vacuum Cleaner", and it picks up dirt right out of the carpet! Installed carpet does not slip around like throw rugs.

Will someday replace with carpet!

My dogs hate hard floors, they slip and slide, throw rugs slide all over the place, hard to clean and who wants to wax floors while on vacation. Nope, for me and mine we like carpet & its a lot quieter easer to clean and I am not so worried about germs that a little sand in my carpet is going to spoil my travling.

AS mentioned, use the old carpet as a template and make your cut bigger. I used a small air compressor and a air gun with staples when I put the new carpet down.
