So I spent the last 3 days replacing the floors in my house

Needless to say, my knee's and calves are sore as hell this morning!
I always take pride in a job that I complete myself, so I decided to do this one on my own.

Ripped up the old carpet and padding. Tore out about 10 tiles in the entry way. Replace it all with harwoods. That crap is a lot of work! Next time, I'll just hire someone

SHow me yours and I'll show you mine. I did Mahogony BellaWood on slab in my current ladder house. It was hard work but MAN do I ever get compliments. That makes the wife a happy camper.

I tiled my bathroom last year and it quite a workout.
