Laying Hardwood Myself
One of my good friends wanted wood floors in the downstairs of her house, so she had her uncle show her the ropes and she then proceeded to finish the entire job on her own. I used to live only three miles from her, but I’m too far now to have got up there to help her out.
Of course, helping her would have also been a benefit for me/ I want to learn how to do the work so I can put a hardwood floor out in the family room. Before my cat died last month, she peed once outside her box. We have the smell out of the carpet (not an easy task), but I think starting fresh with the flooring is still a good idea. And, I have always thought wood floors would open up the small space.
I was looking the DeWalt tools website on for prices on the tools I would need, like a circular saw. I think I can everything together that I would need with a minimal payout, especially since I can borrow a lot of the elements. I’m a little intimidated, but labor makes up for SO much of what you pay a professional to do work in your home, so it should be worth it in the end. Plus, I think I can get Bekah to give me at least one lesson before I begin.
