Just got off the phone with the Home Depot floor installing subcontractors. Since we have a wildly uneven (and frickin' OLD) floor, we thought our (original, self-guided) BS internet quote of $2K was going to be doubled or tripled, but it's only about $3K. Is that crazy for installing a hardwood floor? It's a small room, but it has many challenges. Does anyone have any experience with Home Depot installations?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
well... i might have gone to wikipedia for that definition. still, it's not contradicted by the other things I'm finding.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hardwood floor is pretty pricey. We paid more than that for our kitchen and half-bathroom. Didn't use Home Depot, though, so I can't help with that.

What's the current flooring? If you're planning to sell and move in as reasonable a time as you can, then you may be better off getting a professional in to look at the possibility of refinishing.
I have not heard much good about Home Depot installations.

Current flooring is nasty-ass carpeting over ancient vinyl over pine plank subfloor.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
It has the same problem as all UD lipsticks - it slides off at the slightest opportunity (much like my knickers... what?).
Oh, good, I didn't have to say it.
That's why I said it, to spare you the trouble!
Happy Birthday, Andi!
Is that crazy for installing a hardwood floor?
It is not, and I will echo what every one else is saying about going to a pro.

So charmingly non-fixable, then! Gotcha.

It sounds like our bedroom in the old house, which was shag carpet over *BERBER PRINTED* vinyl over 1962 newspapers over the original worn fir floor.
We lived with the thrashed fir + room size rug until we moved out, then installed laminate over it before we listed. (Sell, house, sell!)

I lurves hardwood.
Um, if I had an IV twice a day, I would be not one whit worried about my coworkers. "Look! NEEDLE! Not coming in!" I am amazed at your fortitude; I'd be a big crying baby that whines like a whiny thing.
