                    yeah i hate doing any kind of carpentry work, i always hire that stuff out. i dont mind putting in hardwood floors or tile because you can cut and be and 1/8 of an inch off and it wont matter.

                        hardwood floors is project number two


                        that is much easier though you are right...also i have done someone elses hardwood floors with them...so im thinking smooth sailing for that....should be doing it this fall
