Since I have time I can give it a try. Worse case is I am out my time and wreck a few yds of carpet,.... then I call in the pros. I installed engineered hardwood flooring in the front half of the boat 2 yrs ago and it turned out well- after a learning experience. Part of the fun now is doing and learning myself. And anyway, I have no experience robbing banks either. The consequences of screwing that up are much greater. Thanks for the fun comment.
