Last question worked out well, so I'll try something a little more challenging. :)
Laid about 1200 sq ft of laminate flooring and learned a lot along the way, plus scored some great new tools. But . . . During our kitchen renovation the old dishwasher sprung a drip-leak for about 24 hrs before we got it removed. Result: roughly half the kitchen floor was ruined. :mad: (I know, I know, save the floor for last. :o ) Fortunately, I have sufficient left over flooring to do the repair. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to cleanly remove the old flooring back to the undamaged part without damaging the "next board" every time. I think if I cut it with a CS, I'll still have noticable seams where the new boards join the old.
Anyone had any experience in repairing this stuff? :confused: Pergo laminate, Americana, Red Oak, no glue or staples, built in foam padding. (And before you start in on me for using this instead of real hardwood, keep in mind I SAID I learned a lot.:rolleyes: ) All suggestions welcome.
