Anyone Do Their Own Laminate Flooring
Want to lay laminate in one of my bedroom. Anyone got experience to share? The existing flooring is parquet but over 20 years old. Think the process goes like that 1) hack off the skirting, not hacking off the existing parquet as it is too much work and the floor level in the room is lower than that in the living room so can add on a layer. 2) Lay the insulation sheet and laminate planks. 3) Glue the skirting which helps to hold down the laminiate planks.

Help Needed! Have signed contract with a window installer to change all the windows grilles on Monday. Then yesterday, another person came to take the measurement again. After he left, the saleperson called me up to say that it is nicer to use bigger frame for my window, ask me to top up $400 plus. Acording to them , the existing window is sliding and i am changing to casement, so the concrete window frame is 4" and the window frame is 1.5 so there will be a gap there. They say that it will be nicer to cover the gap but I said never mind. They pestered me alot and finally I told them that at most I will top up $200 to change to bigger window. Can someone enlighten me on what is this different sizes of window? Thanks in advance.- 32-35k For 5rm 122sqm Resale Flat Is It A Lot?
