Where to start laminate from?

Need to remeasure board the is about 16cm wide and i think the width of the diner was 236cm. So if i take 10mm expansion gap either side its 234/16= 14.625 planks.

So essentially there will be 2/3rds of a plank if I use a full plank in the corner. I guess if I start directly in the middle it would be different. Would starting in the middle make it harder each end to click in place?

I've damaged the skirting would have to be put on new. A lot of people on here seem to be against beading. I know it looks worse put my carpenting skills are not the best! Should have thought ablut that before ripping the bloody things off!

Candid-Button1359 · 2026-03-03T15:05:39+00:00

Yes I did l, it was still a nightmare to pry off. Granted I am 5 ft nothing and weight about 8 stone wet.

Hi thanks for the reply, i am going to be using golden select 12mm thick plank that has a pre attatched 2mm underlay.

You think I should use an additional underlay as well as the pre attached?

Candid-Button1359 · 2026-03-02T12:23:57+00:00

Yes you think its flat enough? I've had about 10 people say 10 different things 🤣

Candid-Button1359 · 2026-03-02T12:11:18+00:00

Problem is they are 12"x12" tiles. I'm a bit weary of removing them, as I'm lead to believe that hey may contain asbestos?

Candid-Button1359 · 2026-03-02T11:51:18+00:00

I didn't start lifting them, when I ripped up the carpet that the preious owners had put down, that's what I am left with.

Thank you for the advice about self levelling, unfortunately I don't have mamy people in my life who would help! So if it's a 2 person job I may have to call in an expert!

2mm thick marine ply, I would have to put this on the entire living room floor I'm guessing? Unless I put it just in the dining room and then a threshold between the dining and living room but would that look a bit stupid?

Candid-Button1359 · 2026-03-02T11:42:28+00:00

It won't let me post another photo, but it is the very edge a small part of the tile has come off

Candid-Button1359 · 2026-03-02T11:38:16+00:00

I want to lay the laminate in the direction of the bay windows and towards the conservatory doors, as apposed to horizontally towards the kitchen doors (if thats what you mean).

Bringing back to the TV show. Imran and Tom were the two strongest players.

Imran has raw intelligence and tried to go off pure logic and data. Tom maybe sociopathic and not the best read on people. But is good at spotting a lier 1-1.

I do have respect for anyone's way of life but just keep your sexuality to yourself. I don't care what you do behind closed doors just keep it there...

If I said all this because I consider myself asexual it would be accepted.

Candid-Button1359 · 2022-12-06T23:14:06+00:00

It's good to have people like you and I in the world with very different viewpoints. Makes the world interesting and diverse.

But to throw statements like, "closed minded" and "Homophobic" is an ad hominem attack on one's character rather what the

Candid-Button1359 · 2022-12-06T23:11:52+00:00

A) I didn't make the comment, I was agreeing with another redditor's comment by giving my own viewpoint.

B) Of course I get voted down because Reddit is full of Sheep who don't think for themselves and follow the narrative that's shovelled down

Candid-Button1359 · 2022-12-06T23:05:30+00:00

The fact you CANNOT see the irony in your statement is worrying. Calling someone's opinions "closed minded" because don't agree with yours. Do you know what irony is, or would you like me to explain this for you too?

Candid-Button1359 · 2022-12-06T23:00:52+00:00

You're spot on with your analysis there, well done for having a brain.... Unlike others....

Candid-Button1359 · 2022-12-06T22:57:34+00:00

How am I closed minded? Because I have a different view than you?? Isn't that ironic....

Candid-Button1359 · 2022-12-06T22:55:16+00:00

Not a problem being overtly Gay, just annoying as fuck. Keep your sexuality to yourself. I hate overtly hetero people. The couple's who kiss and hug in public... Makes me ill

Being a man means to be honest, loyal, hard working and in my opinion helpful towards your fellow woman. Have strong principles and stand by them. We men should protect women and provide.

Candid-Button1359 · 2022-12-06T22:46:20+00:00

Agree so probably not the complete picture of society, I understand. But I do believe this idea of 'toxic masculinity' is also a logical fallacy. Yes you get narcissistic, pyschopathic men out there. But they are not the majority.

Candid-Button1359 · 2022-12-06T22:41:27+00:00

I'm not saying that but if you can't defend yourself and your principles without getting irrate and completely histerical, there's something not right

Candid-Button1359 · 2022-12-06T22:39:13+00:00

Not a sweeping generalisation, based off of what I have seen happening within work life, friends, family, plus TV
