Sudden Horrible Wrist Pain 37 Weeks

laminate orgy

Anders can the laying of about 62 m² of laminate on the ground floor living / dining room and kitchen in on the first weekend in September and designate the following Monday and Tuesday, not really. The fact that these spaces are more areas and even merge into one big room together, they had to relocate a correspondingly long face. So you could "Klopp" meters without end, without having to pause for sawing , and eventually became a kind of frenzy. As quickly as we have in any case never moved so much laminate. If we had had more time on the weekend, we would get this area even completely finished. So had just been finishing work on Monday and Tuesday to run after work.

The beginning was difficult but . First, because it this huge area sees before him and just "Oh you sacred Sch ..." may think. Even a little overwhelming!


Paddy in 10 m distance. ;)

Second, the beginning was hard because we needed for the first series of 10 m plus two window bays beaten two hours . It was just incredibly difficult to get the rows straight. Something slipped again and again because it was difficult to stabilize the boards of this length. When was this crappy series finally completed, we will beat us but with the quasi "Boards". For in the next 90 minutes we moved only 9 rows! was the one but then a lot of positive energy.

how it looked then at the end of the working day a of:


stacked Due to the volume also back a lot of garbage on the stairs ...


... and the floor looked again and delightful. ;)


Our division of labor the way, is always the same: Paddy is the master of the saw and I have to measure and mark.


And I think each of us is completely satisfied with his part:) I had to work out the way, whatever all material requirements. What's funny, because Paddy in the job has a lot to do with numbers and I did not. For that I was better at math in school, maybe that's it. ;)

On Sunday fluppte it again as well lubricated. In 3 hours we laid 15 rows and began to lay around the corner. " We've got this sloping wall to the kitchen out. These we have conquered. With the help of our sawing station.

cut angle made easy. At the end of two working So we looked at the following result:


On the third day, the slope was completely finished .


Especially the last laminate board was nice. Half diagonally, half straight. This us just do not get bored. ;)

Because Paddy short to 20 clock was tired: P saw the end result of working three like this:


means that these last 3.5 series, we then took hold on Tuesday. I love our house, but such an evening in our not-home would be a nice alternative was. ;)

On Tuesday we had also done: to


But not us without first having to deal with the tricky points who had withdrawn before us until then.

was particularly annoyed us the wall on which our are living wall, for there remained to the last row installed yet left such an extraordinary amount of wall space .


Is it beautiful? Fits all? No, unfortunately not. For the remaining gap is slightly wider than the baseboards. * * grmbl


So we had then beautiful, slim cut suitable pieces . But with a groove, so that we can click in the previous series and all budge.


These pieces were about twice as wide as a pencil.


This may very well stay ... We had lots of fun! ;)

Although ... the real fun was waiting for us. skirting cut. window niches and corners, here we come! Why we found it really great to have in the big room on the ground floor to ceiling five double-window! ;)

Incidentally, this was the moment where we have then thrown the exasperated saw station in the corner . At this point, the advertising is really Schmu! It is a fact suggests that in combination with the jig saw with blade you can make an angle, very nice 45 degrees can cut angle.

Works all relatively simple. And then one keeps the angle to each other. And it fits at all times not so. * argh *

So we had no other choice than to rush into the next hardware store, to us to buy a miter saw . Very funny and typical of our Hardware visits was that our consultants (we could actually raise one) of course love to have turned on a device from 150 EUR up. But I kept persisting to the 60 EUR variant from which he would not hold so much. I was interested only if the 60 part of the EUR can do what we need. Can it. Purchased. What are we having a much more expensive phone we will probably never use again? Except for the shelves or in our attic. Great advice again. The main thing, give the most expensive part! And the 60 EUR cut part great! So! : P

I can think of even now that I revise my statements regarding "all beginnings are difficult" again, I must, because compared to the skirting boards so the rest was a no brainer! was here that is really time logic and concentration required. For angle is not the same angle. There are left and right. And in addition also the projections on the windows, also left or right on standing, which have to be cut differently.

Fortunately, we got it out fairly quickly and then quickly traded to just not to make mistakes, and consider anew the need. :)

for any future foot Sawyer here insert the ultimate solution for sawing by a miter saw , that is, as you have the foot in the saw:
angle right = front
angle left = back to 180 °
window supernatant right = front, rotated 180 °
window overhang left = back

And then watching it still, that also saws off the correct end, ie, once introduced, the footer from the left, sometimes right on the saw. Got that? ;)

If not, we are happy to engage a professional Fußleistensägeaufsicht. : D

If you're thinking that it had been with the laminate with us, I would say, yes there are also a nursery and an upper floor . Compared to the EC, of course, a no brainer. And two more reasons to continue to write blog. ;)

More on this and on first delivered furniture Our carport and the revival of our hallway color soon!
