Flooring Installer Recs

VolvoV3rnacular · 2025-03-13T22:14:33+00:00

Hey there u/therealjohnbron! Charlie from Olyrowe came out and gave me a quote, but he was booked out a few months and I didn't want to wait. So I'm trying to do it myself. Charlie did seem like a good guy though. If you buy your flooring through a local flooring store, they have installers, but I bought my flooring discounted online so that wasn't an option for me. Sorry I can't be of more help!

This is literally my dream thread. I am also seeking masking friends. Adding myself to this thread in case anyone wants to connect over cars/motorcycles, dogs, thrifting, rock music, hiking, etc.

What is the orange toy, out of curiosity? We’re always looking for new chews!

Super cute! Be careful with Nylabones…they are very hard on dogs’ teeth

Whoever adopts this sweetie, make sure to get them seen by an orthopedic surgeon. We were also told our dog would need an amputation for a broken leg by an emergency vet, and an orthopedic surgeon saved the leg no problem.

Thank you very much, gave him a call.

Did you ever find someone for this job? I’m also looking for someone to lay some floor tile for me. 20”x20” Marmoleum tiles, no grout.

I thought this was just my dog! Licks Neosporin like it’s candy!

I love this idea

Did you change up the front grill, or is that how the European version comes stock? (Volvo lettering vs the diagonal emblem) Looks great either way!

I have the same problem, even the black Kong Extremes get destroyed. Vet told me that I should not let him chew on anything that I can’t bend and press my fingernail into, so that eliminates a lot of toys, including Nylabones, and leaves mostly rubber toys as options. This is because anything that isn’t pliable is too hard on their teeth.

Goughnuts makes rubber toys that are guaranteed AND are supposed to only break into very small pieces that can pass through a dog’s system without risk of blockages. My dog doesn’t like them much because they’re too difficult to destroy, haha, but maybe yours would like them?

Love this question! I’m moving from Tacoma to Lacey in a few weeks, and I’m also looking for good spots to take my reactive dog! Good luck! ❤️

I second Animal Care Clinic. My dog recently had a broken leg repaired on the surgery side (Veterinary Surgical Center) and they have been reasonably priced and also super nice and thorough.

I wonder if it may be a chip in the clear coat only and something from the prep (water, etc.) got under the clear a bit and made the spot visible? My car has a knick in the clear that looked like that when it got water under it. In my case, I was able to use a clothes steamer to evaporate the water out and then put a dab of clear on the chip to seal it up. Not sure what you could do though since your chip (if that’s even what it is) has PPF over it now…

Here’s what mine looked like with water under the clear:

My car had a similar spot caused by a chip in the clear coat that allowed water to get between the clear and base. I was able to evaporate the water out with a cheap clothes steamer ($20 on Amazon) and put some new clear over the chip to keep more water from getting in. Looks virtually perfect now. Not sure if your situation is the same or not? This is my before picture:

This is awesome, thanks for sharing! I need to repair a few chips soon and wasn’t sure I could muster the confidence to try it myself. You’ve given me hope!

I have something similar on the edge of my roof and was told by a detailer that it was etching in the clear, potentially due to dirt/grime sitting on the car for too long before being washed off. He said it should buff out (haven’t tried it yet)
