My new laminate flooring

It has been a long drawn out process, but I now have the laminate flooring laid in both rooms.
It actually looks better now it is laid than it appeared as a sample, so I am extremely happy with the outcome.
Now comes the long laboriuous process of gradually transferring each item from the living room and kitchen back into the bedrooms. I will be cleaning each item as they are transferred, which will al least result in an excellent level of spring cleaning.
The fun part will be reattaching all the cables and leads to the rear of my desktop computer. My computer’s audio system alone had 6 cables to reconnect.

It really looks nice. I love my laminate flooring as well. It is in all the rooms but the bathrooms and kitchen. My son laid it for me, and he really worked hard at it too. The only room, he didnt have to do was the living room as it was already laid there. I had to make sure that i bought the same colorr, and I had to find out from the previous owner where they got it from, and then I would get it from the same place. I bought enough, and in fact, there are two boxes left over, but I have them for repairs in case I would have to have some replaced, which I do a few, as they got water under them, and it didn't get wiped up right away, and it cause the flooring to come up on one corner. As a whole though, it looks really good, and I love it.

@Asylum Yes, it certainly is. There was carpeting, and my decided that since the living room already had it, that laminate flooring was better, since I was planning on having dogs. I have been enjoying the laminate flooring, and glad that I have it and not carpeting.

@Asylum That's so awesome! I am so happy for you. =)
One day if I ever own a home I want pergo flooring in it. My husband did a job for his customers with that and it also looked amazing! I will show you a picture of it.

@LovingMyBabies The surface of the flooring is very reflective, as seen by the window reflected on the floor. I had the same problem and finally closed the curtains and took a lower shot to reduce the effect, which is why mine appears lighter than it really is.

The floor looks lovely! I am very happy with my over 10 year old laminated floor in my first floor. It is easy to clean and a lot more healthy than carpet.

@arthurchappell I was really tempted to fit it myself, but it was risky.

Looks good, I really need new floors, in some rooms literally, and I love the wood look.

That is very nice looking flooring. We have had wall to wall carpeting for many years and keep thinking we should do what you have done. We probably will one day.

@AbbyGreenhill Routers are designed to be in constant use, so mine is also on permanent. It probably gets warm underneath, but should remain cold where air can circulate.
Some routers have stands to keep them upright for this reason.

@Asylum Question for you - I noticed my WIFI router gets very warm....it's on all the time...should I shut it off when I'm not using it?
