Bob,

I too am a do-it-yourselfer,but this is one thing that you might just want to have someone come and do yourself. I paid $1000 bucks to have a guy come and do my living room, hallway, and two bedrooms. About 700 square feet. They came out beautiful.

No mess to clean, no dust to deal with, no machines to rent.

Renting the machines was about $100 bucks a day, and you have to rent two machines, sander and edger, TWICE.

So there goes $400 bucks, plus paper & poly.

The most important cost is YOUR time.

After you start to add things up, you might want to re-think doing it yourself.
