Brown Blueprint Request
Hey Joe,
Greetings from the Twin Cities!
I will be installing CoreLuxe Ultra vinyl plank in my house. We have a split level house, and the plank will be installed in the entire upstairs, except in the kitchen and bathroom. I’ll also be installing it on both stair cases and in the entryway. I’ve attached a layout of our house so you can see what I’m working with.
I’ll be working with a wood subfloor in all areas except for the small landing at the bottom of the steps leading into the basement, which will be on concrete. But this area is small, probably 3×5 feet.
Upstairs I’m planning on no transitions between the rooms, and will use the hallway to line things up.
I was thinking of installing north to south, so I’d start by the bay window in the living room. That way I would only have to work backward in the master bedroom.
However I could also go the other direction, south to north, and then I’d be working backwards in the 2nd bedroom. Let me know which direction you think would be best.
Let me know if you need any other info, and thanks for your help!

Just one clarifying point: when I say working from north to south (or vice versa) I mean that I will start on the north side of the house and work my way south, with the planks running the long way down the hall (east to west). Thanks!

Hey Joe, thanks for the reply!
I knew you were from Minnesota but I didn’t know you were up in Grand Rapids now. My son is actually in Grand Rapids attending Itasca CC, he’s on the wrestling team there. My wife and I live in Maple Lake, a small town in Wright County about 40 miles NW of Minneapolis.
Anyway, yeah I think I will work from the bay window down, with the plank running east/west. I think that will look real nice.
And no big hurry on the blueprint, I think I probably won’t get started on this until after the Holidays. The 6th, or even later, will be just fine.
Also I just wanted to thank you for all the help you’ve provided. I am a software engineer by trade, so this type of thing is definitely a bit out of my comfort zone. But honestly with just the videos you have avaialble for free on YouTube I was able to learn enough to be confident that I can do this project myself. Signing up for Laminate University was a no-brainer, so thanks again!

I’ve worked in Maple Lake many times when I lived in the Cities. I probably am about 2 miles from the college, small world lol. I will put you down for the 6th.
