If you’re installing Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring it’s inevitable you’ll run into situations where you have to install some pieces “backwards” or in the reverse orientation for closets, walls, or other obstacles.

I was very happy with the Flooret floors I used, they have a great color, good variety of print/patterns to reduce duplicates, and quality materials. I’d use Flooret LVP flooring again and I totally recommend them.

MODERN BUILDS

Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I’m a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I’ve focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.

  • I've only done a couple of plank installs, but there are a few things missing here. why arent you using a subflooring foam mat to add some cushioning to your floor, it saves your feet as it reduces the hardness of the floor and also means you are less likely to have breakages when items fall on it. Also why arent you cutting one end to size then starting the next row with what's left over, it helps you stagger it well and less waste!

  • His cousin said that he was still alone.
    And he can no longer trust anyone and is worried about him.
    He said that it is not the dream's right to be alone😹😹😹

  • Mike Montgomery = Shayne Smith (comedian) less the tattoos. Just noticed and now I can’t unsee it.

    Thank you Mike always enjoy your videos.

  • Why would you cover up those beautiful wood floors? It would be cheaper to rent a sander and refinish the floors. Vynal flooring is crap, too easily scratched, not easily repaired.

  • Don’t listen to this nonsense

  • Gray flooring is a trend unfortunately won't age well, and all that hard work 🥲

  • So, I get this is a modern builds channel, but my oh my are you doing those beautiful floors a disservice. At the very least clean them up before putting on some kind of barrier between it and the new stuff. Cheap work, man.

  • Even your mom and dad love Matthew and without that you have problems with your family, your problems with them will never end.
    When I told Roya that he had a family problem, he remained silent and did not say anything. I am a fortune teller and I understand everything.
    He kept silent because he didn't want to kill you with pain, but you wanted your love to suffer. You are the vile snake that attacked Eve in paradise

  • D.m:
    You could be the best person
    He loved Torva romantically, but you stole that girl's money with greed, ruined her future, and made her family her enemy.
    You are worse than Abel and Cain. You destroyed a kind girl. You are hell itself. As I understand, he trusted you because of the photo, but you let him down.
    His cousin said that he always cries in his sleep

    You are a dangerous and bad person in America.
    I don't hide things like a dream, I tell people the truth so they know you, you are a very bad person.

    As Anton said, you will never be like your brother. Everyone says that Mike is spoiled by nature. There is no one like Matthew

  • D.m:
    We are the cause of this

    He looks happy.
    And sprinkled inside.
    And we did, you and I

    You and I destroyed a life

    She could be the happiest girl like she was when she was single, but you destroyed her
    You destroyed him, you are a sinner

  • As for you, this man told me about your family.
    I told Roya, but she didn't believe me.
    I even took a picture of your brother.
    He did not believe everything.
    Or maybe he didn't want to believe.
    Or he couldn't accept it, you hid everything and lied.

    but no,
    You suggested to label your girlfriend as an adjective.
    which I allowed and shared his photo. I don't regret knowing you like this

    But I know this, we can't find a good and healthy girl like her.
    It was a long time ago, I was desperate, but you had your chance, but you missed it.
    You slandered him and spread his picture.
    I myself have a guilty conscience about this, I don't know you.

    But somehow I am happy because I have hope for myself because you are really ugly, I really wondered why he likes you?
    I can't believe he still loves you.
    You are very ugly, only the color of your eyes and the whiteness of your behavior are very bad.
    How do you deal with this behavior?
    Do you really have a question for me?
    Do you want to see her husband? I have his picture
    Her husband had worse morals than you.
    We always saw that her husband always beat Roya.
    And that girl endured for 9 years.
    Well, we all knew.
    You tortured him more to save your daughter, but he put up with you.
    I know the dream
    He kept silent so much that silence became a duty.
    I saw that you were bothering him a lot, so I decided to pay attention to you, I didn't want to pry
    I saw that you messaged him in the comment on Instagram, the first time you said to send it to me on Telegram, I doubted that I got Roya's number from Instagram and hacked it.
    He doesn't know that I saved him from you.
    I messaged him yesterday, but he was silent again, but this time he didn't block me on Instagram.
    But his cousin said that he has been sleeping quite quietly for some time and is almost depressed.
    He does not speak at all and sits in a corner
    He didn't say anything, my wedding just came.
    He just took a few pictures with his family and didn't talk to anyone.
    He said that his family looked at him differently. And his head was down.
    Well, I'm sorry for myself, if you didn't say I'll send it to your family, I wouldn't have done it either.
    He said that he does not sleep and cries at night
    Maybe he has forgiven us with his words, but he can't from the bottom of his heart…
    When you threatened to show your picture to your family, I took a picture and sent it to him.
    Only! I know that he will never forget this incident.

  • That tapping block works great, but you're using it wrong. You want to always maintain contact with he plank and pivot one side out like a hinge and then side it back in hard. You don't want to slide the whole block out and then whack it back in. The hinge technique assures that the impact to the plank happens across the whole side of the block and not just one corner.

    Also, if that old wood floor is on a slab you might get some moisture build up in it. I haven't seen an LVP that can go on top of wood that is on top of concrete. You're good if it's a pier and beam foundation.

  • Make a marker board for last rows. No need for tape measure

  • Gray wash always looks like it has a tiny of dirt on it, but guys love it lol

  • Should really work on your audio quality. Felt like a low effort video.

  • Don't worry, I'm not like your daughter, I'll hide everything, I'll tell everyone.
    Do not be afraid of me. Fear is the brother of deat😹😹😹😹

  • Click lvt are rubbish, glue down is much better.

  • Hello, how many boxes did you use for the whole house?

  • Great stuff as always. Wish I had some of these tips when I was laying my floors. 😂 keep rock homie

  • My guess why that block was breaking the edges was because when you hit that block against the side, its not perfectly parallel, so a small section of the edge takes the initial impact whereas with the traditional method, you already have it lined up parallel in place before the impact with the hammer.

  • Vinyl flooring??! Why not some white oak engineered flooring for that modern build.

  • Great video, love watching this all come together! Could you use a mic next time the echo is hard on my ears.

  • @modernbuilds I am a flooring guy by trade, been installing lvp, laminate, and hardwood for 5 years now and currently own my own flooring company. The reason why those planks were chipping with that block is because when installing backwards that side that clicks in is more fragile and is lifted off the ground compared to the other side of the plank. When I install backwards I use a scrap piece of flooring, lock it in place, and hit the scrap piece that way it wont chip or break the full piece, or i use a bigger rubber mallet and ditch the block altogether. Hope that helps!

  • Two back to back, nice one!✊🏾

  • Love the seamless look. Curious if there is any extra worry when floating the floors without transitions with movement/buckling later?
