Raymond Degidio This is my first large deck and its been a nightmare since the beginning. I've ended up doing 90% of this solo after my helper got arrested.

Constant bad weather causing delays. Im now almost 3 months in. There's finally an end in site and now I've run in

Did caulking before painting. Please help.. I'm new to home reno stuff and caulked my baseboards with waterproof caulking before I finished painting the walls or baseboards. The paint just comes off now. I tried going over it with regular caulking so I could paint it, but when I pulled the tape off, all the paint came off too. I've wasted so much time trying to fix this mistake. Do I have to cut the old caulking off or how do I go about fixing this?

Should middle plank going down hallway be perfectly centered? photo shows how I’m thinking about positioning the planks in the hallway (though obviously they’ll be staggered when I actually lay them).

I’m overthinking it and worried that it will have some weird visual effect if there’s a plank running down the exact center.

Should I position it like in the photo? or is it better to do more off-center?

edit: to be clear I’m replacing the 15-year-old cherry laminate floor with the lighter LVP. Summa y’all crazy telling me the existing floor is nice

Does this trim look dumb? Does it look dumb to use this stop instead of quarter round? For bathroom only.

Replacing damaged kitchen laminate with vinyl. Trying to decide between #1 and #2 aesthetically.
Both are 9 mm planks with 20 mil wear layers. #2 has beveled edges. Which looks best with our espresso cabinets?

Significant floor dip transition in new build. The builder repaired a large part of the floor due to a different issue and when they replaced the boards there's now a significant dip where the hardwood meets the tile.

Is there any advice on what to do here or am I SOL? The dip is bad enough to be a tripping hazard.

Definitely didn’t think everything through. Put this up around my yard. Plan was to dig a trench along fence line and put down w**d cloth/crushed rock. Should’ve done that before I put the fence up. Gonna be a real pain now.
