Joe –
Thanks for your video with suggestions!
Regarding your questions:
1) Flooring tongue/pictures: I don’t have the flooring, it will be Costco Mohawk Canyon Creek Oak Rigid Vinyl, Costco SKU: 1657946. You had good things to say about it on your channel, so I chose this manufacturer.
2) Direction: Let’s go east/west, starting in the bathroom. My concern is making sure we are square to the Kitchen and Living Room wall as we come out – but I’m sure you have a way to take care of that.
3) Wood subfloor: It is a wood subfloor, with hardwood flooring that I will be covering. The kitchen and bath will be plywood (no finish hardwood flooring).
4) Kitchen cabinets: I will be installing Ikea cabinets and plan on having the new vinyl flooring continuous underneath them. The Ikea cabinets are primarily supported by a steel ledger off the wall – so I thought this would be acceptable (and easier to install the flooring).
