Just hit 1000 square feet of LVP in a single day by myself

I was doing a big job in a new build over in Lancaster last week, just me and a helper who was out sick. I figured I'd be lucky to get half the main floor done. But I started at 6am, used my new power shear for the cuts, and by 5pm I had laid and clicked in a full 1000 square feet of that 7mm rigid core stuff. My back was screaming, but I was shocked. It was all about the prep, the layout, and having the right cutter. I never thought I could move that fast alone on a floor that big. What's the most square footage you guys have ever put down solo in a day on a floating floor?

Watch the right tool change everything.

And not just for the job, for your mood too.

Last year I spent three hours trying to scrape old caulk with a putty knife before my buddy lent me his five-in-one tool. @fionam11 is totally right, the right tool isn't just faster, it keeps you from getting so frustrated you want to quit the whole job. I've seen people buy the fancy brand name stuff when a basic ten dollar tool from the hardware store does the exact same thing. It's about matching the tool to the actual problem, not just grabbing whatever's closest.
