The next day, as the sun shines down through the window of the door, I noticed something strange about the floor. Just as you entered the laundry room the flooring had wrinkles. I went down on my hands and knees and ran my hand across the floor. Yup, those were definitely wrinkles. Well, more like…

The washer was next to be put in place. I wheeled it in and aligned it to the opening. I attached the water hoses and turned on the water in the laundry tub cabinet. No leaks. I put the discharge hose into the laundry tub and pushed the washer in place. The lid for the…

The following morning, I was ready to get the laundry room back into place. Unfortunately, we had some visitors, and it delayed my chance to finish up. As our visitors were here, I kept saying to myself, “I have plenty of time, I have plenty of time.” Once they left, Efiwym, my wife asked if…

I went back to the home improvement store, where I could save big money, to return the adhesive and get the right one that I found on their website. Also, Efiwym, my wife, suggested I get a new dryer vent. The store had the exact same dryer vent we had before. I headed home with…

The next morning, I knew I was not as far along on this project as I wanted to be, but I still had plenty of time to wrap it up. The mold issue seemed to be resolved, but I needed to find out where the water was coming from when I put the laundry tub…

After Efiwym, my wife, finished with Thursday’s wash, the time clock was set to get the flooring done in the laundry room. I had until Tuesday morning to complete the project. I had a good three days to finish, so I thought I could easily get it done. The first thing that needed to be…

Every time I cleaned the floor in the laundry room, I hated that the floor was worn out in front of the washer and dryer. I am not sure why I hated it so much, maybe I knew I needed to replace it, and I recognized it would not be a fun DIY project. To…

Nothing left to do but to get the vinyl floor installed. Well maybe not the only thing left to do. I need to install the baseboards, the quarter rounds, threshold, and the toilet. I went downstairs to get the glue and the trowel. I decided when we purchased the flooring NOT to buy any more…

I pulled the corner rounds around the vanity and removed the baseboards. The trim was still marked for their location from the last time I replaced the floor. I checked the door jamb to see if I needed to undercut it so I could slip the flooring under it. Apparently, I undercut the jamb too…
