My father, brother-in-law Dave and I laid the flooring down on the upper level this past weekend. Bamboo - it came out looking pretty good. I've never installed a hardwood floor before, and once you know what you're doing it isn't too difficult. The hardest part was getting started. We had to use a certain type of nail - 1 1/2 inch vs the standard 2 inch, because it was bamboo, and it took trips to 3 Home Depots to find them. Next Saturday we do the kitchen.
