Hint: when you take he measurements, add another 10% material for
waste :))

Trick: have someone that can make the cuts for you...beats getting up
and down all the time.

Yes a homeowner can tackle this job. It may not go as fast, though!

Pick a material and see the web site for instructions on installs.

Don't use laminate. Spend the extra $1/sq. ft. to buy real hardwood. The
first time you find a wet spill on the floor you'll be glad you did.

Laminate may have seven ply's. Each being hardwood.

I can tell you the wood KILLS my blades. Some boards have metal
(granular) in them...

Find me some REAL hardwood. :-\

Easy to do a room in a day or less.
Laminate is tough stuff. You need a miter saw with carbide blade for the
cross cuts. Even a $99 one will do but take time to learn how to use it
safely. .

Invest in knee pads. Get a kit with a tapping block and pull bar.
