we did ours 11 years ago when we bought this house let me say we will never do it again we will pay for a proffessional while it looked great it almost cause me to have a mental breakdown honeslty it was not worth the heart ache the sheer OMG job mind you we did the lounge/dining hall and 3 bedrooms so was a big job and my hubby si very handy even he has admitted he will never do it again especially on old timber that has had carpet laid on it
