I have a week off at the beginning of May. I figured that replacing the flooring and doing some gardening would be a good way to spend the week.
I was very much WTF about the quote, myself. Granted, the $700 included materials, but still! Supposedly they charge $3 per s.f., which means a minimum of $300, plus whatever other fees/expenses are tacked on. Ick.
The boxes I checked did not appear to contain any kind of instructions, but I am going to visit Home Depot (I was at Réno Dépot today) and see if their customer service is any better. I would like to be treated as though I'm not an idiot and as though my time is as valuable as theirs, for one. If they offer flooring classes, that might be an option, or at the very least if they can give me detailed instructions, that could work as well.
If nothing else, this will be a learning experience.
