Hardwood flooring?
How hard is it to install hardwood floors by myself? I am about to buy a 2,300 sqft. home and would like to install flooring myself so i can save some money. Also, there is a part of HWF allready installed in the kitchen. Is it going to be hard to take it off, or should i leave it and stain it to match maybe the new floor? About how much would a 1, 200 sqft. floor cost me to buy the wood? I heard that bamboo is the best to get. Thank you.

i highly recommend that you install your flooring your self if will save you loads of money..just read up on it, it is very simple to do
if you have a lowes store near , they have free class's and video tapes to show you how to do it..you need to find a liquidation center for flooring we have one here and you can get the flooring for about $10 a box and the liner for about $17 a roll. if you own your own home it is always wise to learn home improvement to take care of stuff like this..

It's not all about just laying down wood, you need to make sure the sub floor is level and in good order,
and there are things you need to know about the job, like the time they need to keep the wood sitting in your house prior to the actual installation,
then you still need a pro to do the sanding, using a Large floor sander, If you want pro results,
then it will still need to be correctly finished

Arm strength is your obstacle, you might tire quickly if you choose 3/4 flooring, and that's standard, 2.300sq.ft will cost $10.000 if you search it out. Tear out your kitchen or match it. Its easy to tear out , but then again this will depend on your strength again, bamboo sucks on durability, and you could go with a floating floor also. but real hardwoods is the best for resale value.
