Remember when every house in Mill Woods seemed to have that same beige laminate floor?

Back in 2010, I'd just slap down that click-lock laminate over the old floor, but now, after seeing how much moisture can get trapped in our winters, I always put down a proper 6 mil poly vapor barrier first, even if it adds a day to the job.

Adds a day to the job" is the real tragedy here. We all knew that floor was a bad idea, but the beige laminate industrial complex was too strong. Now we're just paying for it one 6 mil poly sheet at a time, pretending we're smarter than our 2010 selves.

Wait, you guys weren't using a vapor barrier back then? That's wild.
