Let's find out exactly why flooring installers get $2 per sq. ft.


Someday I will determine whether it is a blessing or a curse my insistence that given a little instruction I can do anything. In what has become a perfect storm of activity this week, I have the first of many furniture deliveries, the cable guy, and this weekend I'm looking forward to friends from two states rolling in for long overdue visits. So, could there be a better time to get a new floor installed? I think not.

Better yet, I will do it all myself - research, measure, purchase, pick up, deliver to the 2nd floor apartment and install. The video clip of the happy lady at the flooring site made it look oh, so easy. "Simply tilt the plank and snap into place."






And here it goes. I love how the dog is less and less thrilled with the process as time goes on...

Sure thing! Getting rid of the old (carpet, baseboards, etc.) is half the battle. Buying planks with attached pad is at least 1/3 of the rest. I couldn't have imagined trying to work on top of the 1/16" foam padding that they sell you. Let me know when you want to have a work day!
