Ready for a floor make-over? I sure was after looking at 70's linoleum for a few years after I bought my house. I have made many updates, but my laminate flooring sure made a huge difference. My house looks like a whole new place!

If I can install it as a 24 year old female, then anyone that can read directions, use a ruler, and a circular saw can install laminate flooring without paying big bucks for some overpriced "flooring guru". I do advise having someone else there to help you. It makes the process a lot easier. After reading the directions and doing your Internet homework and you are still unsure of what to do, then stop by your local Home Depot and buy the "How To" video explaining step-by-step on how to install laminate.

A few tips when installing:
1) Make sure to have a few extra saw blades in hand because the laminate chews them up quickly.
2) Triple-check your measurements, so you don't have any wasted flooring.
3) Measure the room before installing, so that you don't end up having to use a little skinny piece when you get to the other side of the room.
4) Remember to buy a pull-bar made for installing laminate flooring. It makes installing a heck of a lot easier and quicker than using a crow bar.
5) Shop discount stores for supplies. Look at Ollie's, Big Lots, or any discounted store. I saved about $30.00 a box and $270.00 total. (9 boxes X $30 = $270.00) You can also buy the underlayment at these types of stores to save a buck.

You won't be disappointed. Get the look you want for a fraction of the cost. Good-bye to your ugly, out-dated flooring and say hello to your hip, modern make-over!
