did most of the upstairs of my house in laminates. not that hard to do.
lay down the underlayment, or sound proofing foam first. tape it with duct tape or similar to hold the strips in place, and trim at the walls to fit.
put the 1/4" spacers along one wall, or use a spare laminate board, and start laying the first row.
I made my own tap blocks from maple, but you can buy the plastic ones, too.
tap each board in till it locks into the previous one.
leave 1/4" space all around the edges at the walls, which will allow for expansion/contraction, and be hidden by the base board molding.
cut the ends with a table or chop saw, or barring those, a mitre box and hack saw.

you can usually do a typical room in a day.

well heres a few pictures.

First is the old obviously. Retro stuff, asphalt based I believe. Even when it was as clean as clean could get it looks like a beat up cat puked all over it... lmao.

A few pictures of cracks, rot and general udder crap of the old floor.

I got some trim work to do around my back door when I can get to a table saw... ... ... ... ... ...

And yes I need to hire someone to pain the trim in my red room. I just dont have the patience to do it myself.

and more...

One hell of a difference... Looks tons better :)
