Mr Dan Handy man
why not just use the oscillating saw instead of using both that and the toe kick saw?
Dont try this at home…………LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Make it look too easy
That guy choose the easy floor for demonstration. We need to see the tough back-breaking floors.
I will never understand why people covered up hard wood floors. my home has buetiful hard wood floors covered by carpet why. I’m planing on taking out that nasty carpets and refinishing the floor
why did people cover wood floors years ago? was it the thing to do?
I’m doing this now in our kitchen… complete crap show… this lady was lucky. Mine is half mortared over so I can’t find the screws/nails in half of the floor, the rest of it is nailed/screwed every 3-6 inches (with really no patterning at all) which makes it super difficult to cut with a circular straw in a straight line without making sparks. After that, I have the pleasure of digging underneath it with a prybar with all of my might to take peices off…. basically took me 3 hours to remove a 5 x 2 foot strip. 90 more feet to go! lol
And
THAT OLD FLOOR WILL TAKE ALOT OF WORK..THATS WHY THEY COVERED IT UP
Would love to see how much work it takes to get this hardwood cleaned up and finished.
Did they check for asbestos
That floor is f****in 1 week old lol, or whoever made it sucks.
She got lucky, I’ve seen a lot worse.
It pains me to know someone would put that ugly ass floor on top of that beautiful wood floor.
no mention of asbestos. be careful with old flooring people.
Sawr
Fucking Yankees …there’s no r in saw. Lmao
Tommy you teamed up with a hot piece this time
This guy is a pro!
Did they check for asbestos
Thats looks like a nice kitchen why on earth didn’t the floor get done then
The house im working on had the tiles have sticky tar-like glue stuck on the luan.. Got to rip up the luan and its nailed down.. Can not scrape without hitting a nail every 4 inches.. Making life a lot harder than it needs to be
Yuck! Look at the gaps between the floor boards. I’d’ve left it as is!
These shows make it look so easy. I call BS. Nothing is this easy. Especially in my life! LOL
What’s a sar? ;)))))
WHY CUT TWICE? JUst use the Oscillatinfg saw to start with and cut once?
what if he floor underneath is no longer level? what do you do then? get new subfloor material and cover it all up again?
who the hell designed that kitchen.
I think mine was glued down with a glue Superman brought to earth. I needed to heat mine.
i wonder how he spells Roberta
I’ve got video of what I found under my kitchen floor. I wasn’t quite this lucky.
I have 1/4 inch plywood under linoleum full sheet. Under the plywood there is hardwood. I think there is asbestos under linoleum but am not sure. What is the best way to remove it all? Anyone? Thanks
tom you crafty son of a gun
Bahhhhh hahaha why waste time showing us a video of this? Any idiot could remove these tiles and plywood! Why don’t you show us how you remove tiles that are actually stuck on and plywood that is nailed(NOT SCREWED) into hardwood planks every eight inches. Show me an easy way to do that, and I’ll be impressed.
How do you know if its the tile that has asbestos or not?
It’s a SAW, Tommy. Not a sar.
