Question:

Can you tell me, or can I get via the internet, some instructions and tips for installing laminated wood flooring? My husband and I are planning to do it ourselves, if its not too hard.

Answer:

There is no reason you shouldn't be able to do it yourselves. Most manufacturers will have complete instructions for you complete with video tape if you ask. The www should also have that informtion when you bring up the brand you wish to use. Do not try using a method that is written up for a product other than the one you are going to use.
