Leave in plugged into AC for about 30 mins. If no worky...go to Apple dot com and make genius bar appt. They replace. I had this happen and the AC worked. Also, if you bought as an Xmas gift, it should be less than 30 days...take back where you bought it cause you'll be a refurb from Apple.

I have that set. GLWS

A house with chics and booze, pool table....ya huh

Hey, thanks a lot. I really appreciate the offering. I think Evan has all the tools needed. I am hoping I don't need to remove my baseboards...just get close enough then 1/4 round the gap. Yeah this bamboo I am set on. I intend to do my whole lower level over time. What you said at the glue in the seam...They suggested that to me as well. Thanks!!

I like that idea, Michaels. I will text your wireless device.

The bamboo I posted??

Yeah that's the store I am getting my flooring from. I did not know they give classes. That's nice. The bamboo I am getting is the interlocking free float stuff...$2.99 sqft

There was a girl in there yesterday that told me the same thing. I had all the wood on a cart. I just so happened to walk to the other side and asked another guy a question on a different product and he gave me totally different info...what I told you. That changed the whole game plan for me. I understand people get jobs and have to learn the lingo, but when you have people spending 1000s on home improvement shit...You need a person that knows WTF they are talking about....hence your situation.

Very good! Was Autumn pissed off? Between me, you and Evan...we should be able to knock that room out with the quickness.

Sweet! I want an iPad just to get that case.

Yeah, I am kinda set on that bamboo I just posted. Now that everyone says the darker is better...I will probably get it tomorrow cause they say it needs to site a room temp for 3 days before you apply it. You can swing over and see what we're looking at. I'll break you off gas money to get your shit. Then maybe this weekend we can dive into it. Let me know.

Tell me you bought this.... http://www.amazon.com/Headcase-Etch-Sketch-Hard-28RSI-2d114-2d1-29/dp/B004E1SUWG

Did you call up there and ask about yours? I'm getting excited to take this project on.

They have some nice stuff.

Yeah that's bamboo real wood..no laminate. I am buying from floors and more...I think that's the name. Its behind lowes off Cemetery rd..by dave and busters..its 2.99 sq ft.. you should look there..good prices.

So I went back today to get the flooring and was talked out of laminate. Mainly for the reasons some of you mentioned....the perception it gives at potential resale....cheap, even though it looks great. So I decided to go with bamboo locking pieces. I was told that with the non-locking ones I'd have to glue them to the underlayment as well as glue the pieces to one another. He showed me a glue that acts as a underlayment as well, but the shit was $223 for 5 gallons. So for 5 boxes of .99 wood @$148 plus $223 for glue then $20 for seam glue...I was higher than I expected, So he showed me this locking bamboo stuff where I could get 3 boxes for $318 then a cheaper $22 underlayment roll and be done with it. This is the route I am going. I then got puzzled on the color I need, so I just bought two samples to bring home and judge...I am leaning towards the darker one...You guys tell me...?? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/CLovaR1/IMAG0481.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/CLovaR1/IMAG0479.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/CLovaR1/IMAG0482.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/CLovaR1/IMAG0480.jpg

Nice work!!!

You guys have given me a lot of confidence now when it comes to doing this. I typically try to stay away from major jobs....cause once I rip my carpet up...I'm TOTALLY committed. I was hesitant to do my kitchen backsplash, but once I started, it was easy and looked awesome! I was not sure of the measurements of my rooms for the wood, so I called Dominion and had them fax me the layout of my house with the measurements of all the rooms. I think what I am going to do is start small and do my dining room. No doors and one vent, perfect square room. If I am successful with it..I'll attack another section. Thanks, guys and i'm sure i'll be pinging a few of you once I start...I may run grab the flooring for that room today.

I am also confused on this part if I were to do myself. Here are my base boards...how do you get the wood under it like you see here?? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/CLovaR1/IMAG0471.jpg

Maybe i'll rip up my dining room, complete square, and try it myself in there. I am uncertain how to handle pieces too long, edges, vents and what not. Do you just saw it? As far as adhesive...is that used to 'glue' the pieces together?

I have no idea..I have a person in mind to pay for the work. Thanks for that info. That's just it...I don't want to worry with scratching and shit like that. I have a not even two year old that I am sure will test it in every way...ie toys, spills, etc. You are correct...You can tell it's not wood, but it looks damn close enough. Reason you mentioned are reasons I kind of have second thoughts. My current tile and carpet is doing just fine.

Chuck and Josh...are there different levels of quality with Pergo or is it priced close to that I showed? Thanks!!!!

I have a slab basement. Is yours darker than the 1st one I posted? My mom has been telling me about scuffs. Only thing she hates about it. I kinda want to keep carpet in my great room cause I lay on the floor playing with my daughter and shit, but the room is so big it would look nice as hell with wood. Thanks!! Exactly!

LOL...ya! She didn't like the way they fit her leg.
