installing hardwood is not real difficult,but you do need some carpentry skills…….you need two types of saws………table saw and a (I call it a drop saw)……..you need to draw a straight line to begin your boards,you need to know what kind of trim pieces you need for your doors and you need quarter round molding to go along your baseboards………
you also need to leave an expansion gap of around 3/8″ around all your walls and ,forgot this, you need to undercut your door casings with a saw………..
when I do it I have all the tools I need because I do it on a regular basis but the average person may not so you need to think about that before you start and if you do and feel comfortable with the idea of doing it…………..
GO FOR IT…………….
Try looking on lumber liquidators.
It will also calculate the cost. I’m thinking about doing the same thing at my house. Good luck!! As far as actually doing the work…..I figure some good friends (with the know how) and a huge meal with plenty of cold beers afterward will take care of labor part!! lol
