Floor Coverings - Ahh Yeah!

[heftysmokes]

Hey Buzz, when you guys stop in next month I'll show you the laminate I put in the basement a few weeks ago. 9/16" thick, super quiet, multiple board length,attached pad, pretty nice stuff. The wife and I installed 800 sf in about a day and a half. The kicker was it was about $1.60/sf at Sam's club. We did have to pay $40 for a Sam's club membership, so I suppose that raised the price a bit. Same stuff at Lowe's was $4.00/sf.

We considered the vinyl plank for the basement, but I couldn't get over how cheap feeling it was. That slick vinyl just doesn't do it for me.

I have a Costco membership, I never thought to look there for flooring, I'll check it out. We will be leaving Oregon Mark's place May 27th, so depending on how long we hang out with Canadian Mark we should be at your door the first week of June. ERT is going to be awesome!

This is my main concern with it too.

Ya, we have a Costco membership and I prefer shopping there to what we've seen at Sam's, but in this instance Sam's is far better. There were three or four styles at Costco, but they were much thinner and had that slick laminate feel vs. the stuff we got at Sam's that had that rougher finish. The Sam's stuff also had the bevel edges we preferred, whereas the costco stuff was flat surface. Of course those are more aesthetic choices, so ymmv.

How about penny flooring? It's only 1.44/SF

[heftysmokes]

$1.44?!?!? Shit, you must be getting your pennies in bulk if you're doing it for that price.

That price is APPROXIMATE, duh.

It's also approximately 15 minutes til beer thirty.

You better be staying for a better part of a week! I booked a weeks vacation and booked a place in Whistler in order to show you and your wife around.

Never take buzz seriously until he's right there at the door. I've been bumped multiple times.

I'll believe it when I see it. I've got a warm O'Douls and a Schnozzberry White Owl for you if you do!

Sweet action, last time we went to Vancouver I think we walked a total of 350 miles when we got lost in Stanley Park. Didn't have the time to make it up to Whistler as a result.

If Mark takes you up to Whistler make him take you to Nairn Falls too.

If you have the time, a trip to Vancouver Island to see Cathedral Grove would be worthwhile too.

Killer mountain biking in Whistler. I'd love to go there sometime.

There's some amazing rock climbing in the area too if you're into that.

Or, if you're lazy like me, it's just beautiful country and the drive up from Vancouver is amazing. No matter which way you slice it, if you can, it's worth going to Whistler once in your life.
