Alright, let’s talk about this here… uh… LVL Volleyball birch assembly wooden flooring. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But it’s just floorin’, same as what’s under your feet, only maybe a bit spiffier. Or maybe not. Who knows these days, they come up with all sorts of names.

First off, what’s this “LVL” stuff? Sounds like somethin’ you’d find in a car engine. My old man used to fix them old clunkers, always talkin’ ’bout this and that part. Anyway, I reckon it means somethin’ strong, ’cause floorin’ needs to be tough. You don’t want it crackin’ and breakin’ when the young’uns start stompin’ around, or when you drag that heavy ol’ sofa across the room. You know, the one with the springs pokin’ through?

Now, this “birch” part. That’s a tree, right? I remember seein’ them up in the woods, all white and pretty. Guess they make good floorin’ too. I always liked them old oak floors, but birch sounds nice enough. Probably smoother, maybe a bit lighter in color. Don’t want it too dark, shows all the dirt, you know?

• Strong and sturdy: Gotta make sure it can handle all the runnin’ and jumpin’.
• Easy to clean: Ain’t nobody got time for fancy cleaners and scrubbin’ all day. A good ol’ mop should do the trick.
• Looks nice: You want somethin’ pretty to look at, right? Somethin’ that makes the whole place feel homey.

And then there’s this “assembly” word. That just means puttin’ it together, right? Like a puzzle. But a big puzzle, one you walk on. I seen them fellas puttin’ down floors before, hammerin’ and sawin’, makin’ a big ol’ mess. Hope this stuff ain’t too hard to put together. My nephew, he’s good with his hands, maybe he can help. He fixed my porch last summer, did a real good job.

Speaking of puttin’ it down, they say you need somethin’ called a “sub floor.” Sounds fancy again, but it’s just the floor under the floor. Like them plywood sheets they use. Gotta make sure it’s good and solid, or the new floorin’ will be all wobbly and uneven. And nobody wants a wobbly floor. Makes you feel like you’re on a boat, all tipsy and such. And if it’s made of wood, gotta use that thick plywood. At least that’s what they say, something about 18mm. I don’t know what that “mm” thing is but if they say so, I guess it’s right. Always listen to the fellas who know what they’re doin’, that’s what I always say.

Then there’s this “wooden flooring” part. Well, that’s just what it is, ain’t it? Wood. From trees. Not like that plastic stuff they got, looks cheap and feels cold. Wood feels warm under your feet, especially in the winter. And it smells good too, that kinda earthy smell. Reminds me of bein’ out in the woods, when I was a young’un. We used to go pick berries and mushrooms, good times.

Installation, that’s another big word. Means putting the floor down, just like assembly I reckon. If you’re gonna do it yourself, gotta be careful. Measure twice, cut once, that’s what my grandpa used to say. And make sure you got the right tools. Nothin’ worse than startin’ a job and then realizin’ you ain’t got what you need. Then you gotta go runnin’ to the store, wastin’ time and money.

I heard somethin’ about “vinyl” somewhere. They said you really ought to put it under this fancy floor. I don’t rightly know why, but it sounds like something that helps keep the wood good and dry, and probably makes it last longer, so if they say so, then that’s what we need. These young fellas always know these kinds of things, always readin’ about stuff.

And one more thing, don’t forget to let the floorin’ sit in the house for a few days before you put it down. Gotta let it get used to the air, they say. Somethin’ about it shrinkin’ or swellin’. Don’t want no gaps or bumps in your brand new floor. That would just be a waste of good money and hard work, wouldn’t it?

Anyways, this LVL Volleyball birch assembly wooden flooring sounds like it could be pretty good stuff. Strong, pretty, and hopefully easy to put down. Just gotta make sure you do it right, or you’ll be stuck with a crooked floor and a whole lotta headaches. And ain’t nobody got time for that.
