ok, laminated floors, nice to look at, easy to clean, but what a load of junk !!

today i ripped up the 2nd floor on our front room because im sick of seeing swollen joins from where the floor gets mopped, kids spill drinks ect, cheap click-lock MDF wood floor.....you get what you pay for, right

so i just spent £750.00 on solid oak parquet floor blocks, £200 on a sanding machine and edger (bargin that was) , and around £200 on scread, glue and other bits to get the job done .. .. ..

i got the scread down.....the misses says, wait, i want the walls repaperd as-well.. .. ..lol

what was a small floor job turned into a full unpaid redecoration job, and i tought i was going to have a few days off,


the moral of the story is ...... DONT BUY CHEAP CLICK-LOCK MDF FLOORS, cos it will come back at ya when you least expect it !!!, lol

well, iv had my moan, guess i'll go rub down the walls now.

Then when the kids grow up, you start on their homes...it never ends.
