That room already priced with new pad is $300 with installtion being another $100.Lighting is $689, replacing almost every light in the house.

Septics for 3 to 5 pads/lots depending on what they are with recyling system for irrigation on pasture next door.

A yellow pad is best.Many brokers nowadays have the info you want already available.

. :( On top of that I've had to call him out on not installing a decent sized pad underneath load bearing 4x4s, not supporting micro lams properly, etc.

One major benefit of going with the hardwood is that it should actually cost less than the purchase of carpet, padding and installation, which would be great because we have gone a little bit over the original budget.

We pulled up the new carpet and pad.

--No garage, but has a concrete pad poured, the perfect area to build a 2-car garage.

Then I put on the brakes and looked around and found out I was driving in a crap hole.

Summary: I didn't get approval for the installation of new laminate floors and now the board/HOA won't approve my flooring request even though the padding I have is much quieter than what they require.

@John Vietmeyer We have them in our primary residence. (1 GSP and 2 labs) They are durable and resistant to scratches, we also picked the ones with a greywash to help hide any scratches from the dogs.I don't recall if ours is 6.3mm thick, but the original padding that was underneath made the flooring sound hollow, so we replaced it with a thicker pad and it solved the issue.
