Installing hard wood flooring?

DLIT · 12-04-2008, 05:58 PM

Got a question. We should be closing on our house in the next few weeks, the bank accepted our offer. I want to rip out the carpeting and install the easy-to-install type hard wood flooring.

Anybody done this before? Any tips or advice? I have enough smarts and common sense in my head to do it, I know it. Didn't know if there's any tips of the trade or anything.

It's not my job or anything but i've done it a few times and it's pretty easy, just time consuming and your back will be sore.

I plan on hiring a crew of asian ladies to give me back massages and happy endings while I work it. I fear that, after the happy endings, I may fall asleep though. I'm gonna try and power through it.

Go to Home Depot early in the morning on a weekday, hire you a crew of Mexicans for $50 and get the happy ending while you watch them do your floor.

If you are looking for cheap and easy, go with laminate flooring. We put that shit in our place, pretty simply tongue and groove..
