Default Wood Flooring Part #1

Got the wild hair yesterday evening to start my wood flooring project. What a pain in the a$$ without the right tools. Ripped up 1/2 of the living room old flooring and laid down the foam. Then the fun part began..........starting the first "run" was a pain in the *** when you dont know what your doing...


Sorry for the blurry pics
