DIY hardwood flooring tips wanted..

[andrec999]

Hi,
I'm not a pro installer , but having done quite a few floors in the last couple of years , you should be able to install it yourself and you will enjoy your floor for a long time, I love wood floors, they give a warm feeling to a room.

It is a good idea to bring your floor in the room that you will install it ,for about two weeks before installing it, if possible, I think most manufacturer recommend that.

Also ,you might find it easier to preedrill your boards with a smaller bit than your nails, where you cant use the nailers , the ones near walls, as it is hard wood and it could be hard to nail them without splitting the groove.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Got the floor picked up on Friday..

here is a sample pic of what it should look like when we get it down... My wife commented (and I agree) that we should have used 4" or 5" throught the entire house

sorry I rotated and saved it before uploading but it didnt save for some reason
