[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1753542, member: 423"] Done carpet, paid someone to do it in my house! Laid something like 800sf of tile in my house. The tile wasn't so bad, but I never did really get the grouting figured out. Laying the glue-down wood flooring is not something I'd care to ever do again. I've heard, but not done, that the nail-down is not near as bad. The glue was nasty, messy, and a royal pain. Laying the floating type flooring, that you can get in simulated tile, wood, stone, etc doesn't seem too bad. One tip, no matter what kinda flooring you do: pop the baseboards, install flooring, reinstall baseboards. I tried to install tile in our bathroom without removing the baseboards, and it just doesn't look as nice if the flooring goes up to the baseboards. [/QUOTE]
