Thanks to everyone here. the info I found on this site was great.

We purchased the flooring online but I bought the glue local, lesson learned was to make sure I have enough glue on hand at the beginning of the project to finish it. It was challangeing to find someone that carried teglue I was looking for instock. Still have more rooms to do and molding to put up.

Ended up sore, tired and with blisters on my hands..... but it was worth it!

Looks Great! Did you glue-down or float your floor?

I'm looking to put in around 1600 square feet of engineered floor on concrete and have been trying to determine if it would be better to glue or float the floor.

Looks good! Congrats!

I just finished laying laminate in our new bedroom last weekend and my legs are still sore! :)

Still have baseboards and trim left....

We glued it down. My wife and I did almost 400sq feet in two days. The planks were 6 1/4 inch wide, so only had to do 37 rows. Started out real slow but as we got to the end, we were laying 3 rows in 45 minutes.
