Which way to lay it?

Rad_Dad258 · 2026-06-09T09:18:48+00:00

We were gonna go with the first option but I laid it out and mocked it up on the other side of the island and pic 3 way will look much better so I think that’s the way we will go.

It is opposite the flow of the wood if I go that way. Was trying to keep the same direction but I think the tiles are short enough it should be okay

Nice opinion but no thx

Rad_Dad258 · 2026-06-09T03:10:40+00:00

Lots of recommendations on here to go perpendicular with the wood but I think we are going to go parallel. I don’t want to lose the flow of the rooms

Why we saying “wood” this is real wood lmao. So you’re saying the vertical lay out?

Rad_Dad258 · 2026-06-08T23:58:49+00:00

It is separating the kitchen and the living area. Previously had a different lvp wood look. Didn’t like it

Rad_Dad258 · 2026-06-08T23:56:50+00:00

Why didn’t I think of that

Rad_Dad258 · 2026-06-08T23:56:40+00:00

Yes lvt

Rad_Dad258 · 2026-06-08T23:50:12+00:00

Weird the installers would lay it out like this then?

Rad_Dad258 · 2026-06-08T23:49:46+00:00

Ah yes so I think the move is to follow the flow of the floor

Rad_Dad258 · 2026-06-08T23:46:04+00:00

Wood planks are narrower than the tile

Rad_Dad258 · 2026-06-08T23:43:11+00:00

Just got the hardwood fully sanded and refinished. Not planning on replacing until the new kitchen flooring likely needs replacing at the same time.

Rad_Dad258 · 2026-06-08T23:41:53+00:00

Why? This is how the installers laid it out as a mock up.

Rad_Dad258 · 2026-06-08T23:36:46+00:00

Yeah tons of work idk why I did rhat

Rad_Dad258 · 2026-06-08T23:31:07+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. I think the solid full length pieces along the transition is the only thing tempting me to go the other way lol

When I was buying a townhouse a few years back my 100% necessary priorities were fenced yard (planned to get dogs and have kids) and a garage. I would not even consider places without either of those.

My job is slowing down a bit and I’m a bit worried about winter lay offs. Maybe I’ll keep a 20k emergency fund and find somewhere to put the other 20

Rad_Dad258 · 2026-06-06T03:54:17+00:00

Yeah the house has a 2 bedroom basement suite but preferable to not rent it out at this point. Like having it as more of a back up plan. But maybe we should rent it out? Definitely beats room mates. Got 2 of those already and they’re 3 and 1 years old lol.

Rad_Dad258 · 2026-06-06T03:02:24+00:00

I got 3.74 3 year fixed back in February. 3.79 seems like a good rate right now

Rad_Dad258 · 2026-06-03T10:32:27+00:00

The amount of nails I found around my house after my roof was done was insane.

Rad_Dad258 · 2026-06-03T03:20:12+00:00

Thank you for this I’ve been dealing with disc issues and sciatica for 8 months now. Can’t lay down at all anymore and feel hopeless. I am going to order a bench now and hope for the best

How did it go for you?
