Tried the glue down LVP method over the weekend and my back is killing me
I usually do click lock floating floors but took a residential job in Phoenix where the homeowner insisted on full glue down LVP. Big mistake not renting a power roller for that. I was on my hands and knees for 6 hours straight spreading adhesive with a trowel and the fumes were brutal even with the windows open. The floor came out solid though no hollow spots at all and it feels way more stable than the click stuff. But man my knees are shot and I dont know how the older guys do this day in and day out. Anyone else find glue down worth the extra hassle for residential or is it just a commercial thing?

Did you try the power roller or just raw dog it like some kind of DIY hero?

lol I tried raw dogging it first and that lasted about 20 minutes before i realized my arms were gonna fall off. The power roller was a game changer but honestly the real lesson here is that everyone always thinks they can brute force something until they actually try it. Kinda like how people swear they'll meal prep every sunday and then by week two they're eating cereal for dinner again.
