Do you pay to get LVP installed or DYI??
Hello BP,
I am house hacking a 3 unit- which is currently vacant as I paint the entire apartment Agreegable Grey SW (clearly the go to these days). I am doing the painting bymyself in a 800 sqft apartment and should be done this weekend. I plan to rent the unit by Oct 1st and I am showing it with the floors and painting not done yet.
My question is should I try to install LVP Lifeproof floors from HD by myself with the help of some friends on a couple days or should I pay someone 1,100 to install the floors for me? I am going to pop out all the trim and pull the carpet etc for the contactor. I just want to know if I should be trying to install this myself and save the $1,100 and also learn how to install LVP or should I just pay for someone to do it and get the job done correctly?
AS an FYI I can borrow the tools needed from my brother but I have not done much DYI besides painting. I also live in the unit above the apartment and I work from home so my schedule is flexible.
Thanks!

I am old and retired; if there is stuff that needs to get done I go fishing. If nothing needs to get done I go fishing then too. Priorities.
