Default Installing hard wood flooring?

Got a question. We should be closing on our house in the next few weeks, the bank accepted our offer. I want to rip out the carpeting and install the easy-to-install type hard wood flooring.

Anybody done this before? Any tips or advice? I have enough smarts and common sense in my head to do it, I know it. Didn't know if there's any tips of the trade or anything.

It's not my job or anything but i've done it a few times and it's pretty easy, just time consuming and your back will be sore.

I plan on hiring a crew of asian ladies to give me back massages and happy endings while I work it. I fear that, after the happy endings, I may fall asleep though. I'm gonna try and power through it.

Go to Home Depot early in the morning on a weekday, hire you a crew of Mexicans for $50 and get the happy ending while you watch them do your floor.

Good way to end up with a messed up floor or an expensive re-do... Most day labor types are only manual labor. I wouldnt have them doing a wood floor.

Ya'll must have crappy mexicans, because our fucks get the job done quick and right. Hard working mofos, best brick work in town too.
