Yes, but it only applies if you let the floor get ruined. It's drying out in the backyard as we speak.
I'll only have to replace a few broken pieces and the underlayment.

Real bummer is, I'm supposed to get a vasectomy Friday and I may have to postpone!

Fuck pergo... my wife talked me into it. Now I am pissed - it is not really that durable. Tile would be so much better! And I have animals - talk about the piss problems!

I did a medium sized remodel in about two weeks; new paint, new floor, new electrical fixture, fawcets, while working 10 hours days.

The drain pipe for the dishwasher came apart.

Urine would have been preferable, unless of course it was also bubbling up through the floor!

Me knees were aching for a week.
The hardest part is not using the same patterned pieces next to each other, and staggering the seams so it looks authentic.

I did two rooms and the hallway and it only cost my knees and two cases of beer! and materials.

Just one small thing; is are those boards pressed wood ?

If so; don't let your pressed wooden floor boards dry like they are standing on that first pic. I they were soaked they'll dry into something curly curve like = not good.

Make a floor board sandwich:

The spacers are for the air, so it can actually dry...

TY

I did lean them, and then saw the curve, they are laying down now, but not without the genius spacer blocks.
Luckily I live in a desert and they dried fast.
