And Adam, try and buy a good saw blade.  It will cost you in excess of $80.  You need atleast a blade over 100 teeth.  My suggestion would be to get a 120 tooth blade.  And if you find that even with that blade you are fraying and splintering the wood, tape the area where you are sawing and that will prevent further splintering.

I personally would never put down laminate flooring.  Just old school I guess.  That and the fact it actually devalues a home.  But don't ask me, ask a real estate agent.  Most are anti laminate flooring.

Me..........I got real wood.  Wanna see??? :lol:

Sorry Mr Im a pro painter :lol:

Im no wood guy, I wont lie, but I know how to do this stuff, I've done my fair share of flooring. My father runs a small home reno business on the side, and I'm the one that is usually helping him....hes the one Ive learned all this stuff from. Frig I dont even know the proper name for half my car tools and I use those at least once a week. :rolleyes:

And this transisiton peice....why am I going to have problems? (I love it when you say these kind of things without giving a reason why) We did the same at my fathers house where his met the tile and guess what? No problems , +5 years later. :o :o :rolleyes: :lol: . We used the transition peice for the kitchen flooring (as you can see in the pics) but didnt do it for the hallway because it would honestly look retarded having this bulky strip come out of the floor.

Funny, the 3 real estate agents told me different. :lol: Better than carpet ;) nevermind teh fact I had to TELL them it wasn't hardwood. :lol:

I wouldnt get hardwood because of my dogs....I'v seen what they've done to my parents flooring, and yikes....no thanks. :ph34r:
