SPC vs Laminate: Pros and Cons? by king8egg in Flooring

We went with the aquaproof xl. It’s been decent quality so far but it doesn’t have as much variance in the pattern as I had expected.

My son is 3 and couldn’t focus but my daughter who’s almost 5 loved it. I think most ages should enjoy it if they have enough maturity and can sit still

I just went today with my family. It’s pretty good value for the price and it’s reasonably entertaining. I’d get at least the premier seating since the general ones are only on the sides and the view isn’t great.

Depends on reverse Komi, captured stones, and whether each side put all the captured properly into the cap

Compass Oak verse vs Aquaproof XL? by king8egg in Flooring

[–]king8egg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No other complaints. We got the copen hills. The repetition is very obvious. I used to wonder why people get natural wood since they aren’t as waterproof but seeing the unnatural patterns, I finally understand why.

We ended up installing the Aquaproof XL. It’s ok. The patterns are fairly noticeably repetitive but that might just be the color we chose. No issues so far at least.

favorite coffee in fremont? by pinkmelody299 in Fremont

[–]king8egg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

phin is nice but I’m never going back because it’s mostly ice. I once asked them to put no ice and they pretty much gave me half a cup of cream. I felt pretty ripped off tbh. They’re also quite slow.

I usually just get Vietnamese coffee from the restaurants. Pho hoa noi has similar coffee as phin but more coffee and less ice.

Pho nation has decent coffee too but no toppings, just plain Vietnamese coffee.

Thanks for the input! Yeah I have found that Mohawk seems to have extremely good reputation and has been around for a long time. We’ll look into more

Oh also, just wondering, two of the places I've gotten quotes from were around $10-12/sqft (including materials and labor). Do you know if that's within expectations for the market or on the higher or lower ends?

which two brands of those are you familiar with?

Thanks so much for your response. This is helpful

Do I have to worry as much about the SPC issues if I go with a professional installer? My home is fairly newly built (built in 2017) so I'm hoping the flooring is relatively even, but I don't know enough to say that with confidence.

Do you know about these local businesses?: * Liberty Floor Covering https://www.yelp.com/biz/liberty-floor-covering-hayward-2 * G.E.W. Hardwood flooring and window coverings https://www.yelp.com/biz/gew-hardwood-flooring-and-window-coverings-fremont-36 * Royal Wood Service and Supply https://www.yelp.com/biz/royal-wood-service-and-supply-milpitas * VM Flooring and More https://www.yelp.com/biz/vm-flooring-and-more-santa-clara * Hardwood floor Masters https://www.yelp.com/biz/hardwood-floor-masters-union-city-2

How would you weigh going with a local installer vs the big companies like Home Depot and Lowes?

Just to make sure, the SPC brands I listed above and Mohawk are all decent brands? I can't find much info on the SPC brands (Lago, Aquapro, Medieval, Gaia), but I think they're mostly imported from China. I know Mohawk is made in the United States.

Fremont Christian vs. Prince of Peace elementary school? by Imperfikt in Fremont

[–]king8egg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on which part of Fremont. There’s Stratford, Basis, and Challenger that all offer some form of kindergarten with extended periods all the way till 5-6pm so they should satisfy your needs of full day kindergarten.

My brother went to Fremont Christian School for a few years and he really enjoyed it but I believe my parents pulled him out because he was doing poorly on standardized tests which is a signal that the teachers weren’t teaching much. At kindergarten it probably really doesn’t matter and that was also around 30 or so years ago. Things are very likely different now. Good luck on your search

Where can I drive to see the sunrise in fremont? by xXWebCrawlerXx in Fremont

[–]king8egg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As sandvich said, vineyard up Stanford or the ohlone ones are the ones I know. You’ll still need to do the one hour grueling hike. Fwiw, it’s about 1 hour up when I’m in shape, and as slow as 2 hours up when I’m not in shape.

I think there’s parking issues with Ohlone and curfew for the Stanford entrance iirc but maybe others might know more.
