3. If you choose solid hardwood floor, this is what you need
If you need to take out the old flooring then
3.1. pry bar
3.2. hammer, screw driver
3.3. plywood and screws for plywood
3.4. Pre-finished planks
3.5. Miter Saw, Table Saw
3.6. Planer, Sander (special planks)
3.7. floor Nailer/mallet, nails
This one is expensive, about $500. You may rent it at home depot, however
you will have the time pressure to finish it. My experience is that it will
always take longer time to complete your work than you originally planned.
After two row of this length of nailing, my back will be really sore.
3.8. regular nailer, nails
3.9. compressor
3.10. pliers (take out the nail)
3.11. moisture barrier
4. Safety first
4.1. places in Multiple places
4.2. Not save money
Safety first. Place multiple goggles in convenient places, so that you don't
have excuses not to use them. It is not worth losing your sexy eyes to save
a few dollars.
