It is easy to install so you can do it yourself to save money.

The labor alone to manufacture your own flooring, who knows, I guess it depends on how good you are and if you have all the equipment and time.I just installed a oak solid wood prefinished floor for $2.25 a sq foot.I feel time is better spent looking for a closeout, or looking on craigs list until you find what you want.
