was heard to mutter:

Kitchener Ontario Source Flooring. So the prices are in $0.77 dollars
too.

Ah that explains a lot.

Sucks to be an American???
Here I can haul any construction materials to the local landfill -
costs $75 per ton.

That's not an American thing, it's a company thing. Our previous trash
company picked up anything as long as it was tied up or boxed up in
packages not too difficult to pick up.

I was talking about your lumber prices!!!
(However, for most things you pay a LOT less than we do up here in
Canada.)

I was quoted for medium quality VLP, installed with underlayment, for
a cost of $6k. That includes a special 15% discount for being referred
by a friend to the owner. I left the store.

I can buy flooring at places like that here too. I can pay more than
that too - just need to know where to buy and where to walk.

I bought the carpet for the stairway and hall from a higher end store
- and paid their installers - with their best underlay - cost me
$1000. We bought what we wanted, not what was the cheapest.

The tile we bought for the front foyer was a bit more expensive too -
but for less than 40 square feet I told my wife not to even look at
the price - just choose the tile she wanted. Cost us less than $3 per
square foot. IIRC the ditra, thinset, and grout cost as much as the
tile.

The hardwood I bought directly from the mill for $2.35 per sq ft,
IIRC. I bought the air nailer on sale for about $50 - plus the cost of
the cleats/nails.

Hardwood would be a waste imho in a mobile home. No return on value.

The transitions are all transitions - not offsets. The transition from
one level to the other is spread over about 2 inches - definitely not
a trip hazard even for someone n crutches.

I have various seniors and handicapped people who come in and even a
folded carpet has caused issues for a few of them.

I installed all of my own tile, hardwood, and laminate. (also all but
2 of my windows)

Nice.

I own a little pickup truck.

I own an SUV.
