If you installed your own hardwood floors . .
Any advice? What kind did you use? The snap together kind or the other? Pros or cons?
Thanks in advance - just trying to start my research.

We did a whole series on this on our blog.. check it out here:

We installed hardwood in two rooms in our first floor. We tied it into the existing hardwood floor the builder put it.
Def DIYable. Pro's: much cheaper if you do it yourself. Best flooring option out there IMHO. Fairly simple, not technically challenging. Con's: Sawdust, bending over for the entire job, it's a lot of work.
We used pre-finished hardwood floors for our house. It needed to be nailed down. It was a Bruce floor. The snap together kind is usually much thinner and is a laminate, a composite or an engineered floor (still a composite).
