Blueprint
1. The entire house house has 1/2″ trim. Is it best to just pop that off as it’s already cut and fit so I don’t have to cut new quarter round. I’m leaning towards popping off the existing trim.
2. How to transition the uneven subfloor it’s roughly a quarter inch (picture included)
3. Scrape the green laminate off? it’s glued directly to the existing subfloor. And then cut the new subfloor that is on top of this green laminate per one of your videos? (picture included)
My planks are 7 1/2″ planks but 10 measured out came to 74 3/4″
This is an entire first floor installation but not the bedrooms. My hallway to start in is 36″ but I also need to fill to the carpet in each doorway of the bedrooms.
Thank you for the help,
Mike

Hey Joe, thanks for the quick response.
1. You are correct on the direction and starting room of the floor.
2. Where you questioned if there was a door or if it was a wall in the north west corner of the living room that is a wall. On the other side of that (where I’d work backwards) as you said is the door to the garage and door down to the basement.
3. As far as removing the particle board, to clarify, just remove it in the entire house and get down to the sheeting? I’m not concerned with the effort just doing it correctly as to not have problems down the road.
This is actually at my dad’s house so I ran over quick and popped up a chunk of the particle board up on the living room side and also attached a picture of the planking. And yes I would love a layout plan that way I can just start snapping lines and get to work.

I was actually wondering if you were going to suggest feathering out where the quarter inch was but I think what I’m going to is your second suggestion and take out the particle board in the living room and putdown new subfloor to match the rest of the house. I’ll then cut the green back and feather out that little bit there. I was just about to watch your blueprint and then all the kids came down. Hopefully I’ll get to that video later tonight or tomorrow. Thanks so much Joe.
