Thanks! I love doing these things with my own hands, I feel satisfaction learning it and accomplishing the job.

It took me about 5 hours to do this much. The most time I spent doing it was making the adjustments. The cabinets aren’t perfectly straight, something you’ll notice the more of this type of stuff you do.
I like the look of laminate very much, it’s far better than linoleum but less expensive than tile and a lot easier to do than tile. I would probably break a box of tiles trying to install them. We also went with laminate because it’s much easier on the feet and back; tile fatigues your feet and back quite easily.
