    DIY isn’t too hard, plenty of vids on youtube about how to do more or less everything.

    I did all the laminate flooring in the top floor of my sisters house using nothing but youtube, a dremmel and a mitre saw.

    I probably should have invested in a laminate cutter in hindsight but i got it done
