New Dining Room Floor

We spent the entire day installing new flooring in the dining room, kitchen, and hall. IT was quite a long day, but fortunately we were able to get it all in. Some pointers about installing laminate flooring.
1. Start on the side that is most likely to be seen. If that means you have laminate meeting carpet in the middle of a room, start there. People are much less likely to examine the stuff in the corner.
2. Have some people who are will ing to spend a large chunk of time helping you.
3. Put an entire row together first, then button that into the row already installed.
4. Have several cutting tools ready to go. For me this meant a jigsaw, a table saw and a miter saw.
5. Turn on some good music.
