Installing a Loft Floor in My A-Frame Cabin

6AM start… and this vinyl plank loft floor turned into a 9-hour fight. I ripped rows out, learned the groove system the hard way, and pushed through to a finished A-frame loft floor. It’s 6 a.m. on a Sunday and I decided today was the day to put a real floor in the loft. This video is the full process of installing vinyl plank flooring in my A-frame cabin loft — moving furniture, figuring out the best starting corner, checking square, and then learning (the hard way) how fragile those end grooves can be. At one point I ripped out the first three rows three different times before I finally got into a rhythm. Once you learn how the ends lock in and stop shifting the whole floor around, it starts to go… but this job still wore me out. Back hurts, knees hurt, and I’m not 20 anymore — but I wasn’t stopping with two rows left. In the end, the floor came out good, and now I can move on to the next steps: covers, paint, trim/baseboards, door repair, and cleaning up the wiring/camera setup. 👉 Quick reminder: Please check that you’re still subscribed — YouTube has been unsubscribing people lately.
