Step 2: Measure Twice, Cut Once
Before you start loading up your cart with flooring goodies, take a moment to measure your space. Trust us, you don't want to be halfway through your project only to realize you're short on supplies!

Step 4: Prep Like a Pro
Before you can lay down your fancy new floors, you'll need to prep your space. That means saying goodbye to any old flooring materials and giving your subfloor a good once-over. Sweep away the dust bunnies, fill in any holes or cracks, and make sure your subfloor is nice and level. Your new floors will thank you later.

Step 5: Time to Get Installing
Alright, let's get down to business! Grab your first plank or tile and dive right in. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, and don't be afraid to take your time. Use those handy-dandy spacers to keep everything nice and even, and give each piece a gentle tap with your rubber mallet to lock it into place. Before you know it, you'll be cruising right along like a DIY pro.
