Recently my husband and I are shopping for floors. We are great do-it-yourselfers". I thought I was ready to buy laminated wood floors fom www.fastfloors.com and decided on a hunch to inquire about realwood floors. I currently have carpet no biggy. Pulled it back and removed the wood and tacks. The laminated flooring in a no-glue floating floor. Seems fairly easy to install. However it can never be re-finished and will eventually show its wear. Upon investigating the real wood idea I found that we would have to install sub-flooring 3/4 thick first. The wood I found is from a guy in Utah. It comes unfinished. My husband really wants the woodflooring, but we are talking about adding at least $1500 in sub-floor, glue, stain, sealer and renting a nailer (I am sure very costly). Plus I am not even sure if we can do it ourselves. I was happy to take on the laminate. Both of us are great at woodworking and have all the proper tools to make cuts and what not. Our wainscoating, wallpaper, and crown molding came out awesome. Can any one steer me in the right direction? by the way we plan on staying in the house for the next ten years.
