Hey everyone! Great site by the way.
My girlfriend and I just bought a cottage that's in need of some work.... you'll be seeing a lot more of me around here.
We're starting in the bathroom and I need to get it done QUICKLY... like in a weekend quick.
I need to put down new flooring. My father's actually a contractor and obvously recommends tile but knows that we'd lose a day because it has to set before installing the new toilet.
He recommended I look at 2 options... new laminates that can be used in bathrooms or engineered wood. Both can withstand some water and moisture as long as the water isn't allowed to stand.
I'm not against the engineered but the laminate is significantly cheaper and this is only a house we'll be using on the weekends and may rent it other weekends so we are keeping to a budget.
Is there any brand we should check out? I've heard also that the underlayments are a waste of time and money.... is that true?
Can anyone recommend a brand and also some installation techniques to save some time and money?
