Mrs. G. wants me to install wood flooring in our dining room and living room. They are next to each other and not very large. I'm looking at the bamboo flooring available at the Costco just a stones throw from my house. In my my neighborhood, I'm not sure I could recoup the investment of expensive hardwood flooring. (Although, Costco also has oak flooring for $20 more per box.)
The instructions for the bamboo flooring suggest it can be glued or fixed with nails or staples. I'd rather not glue it. Does nailing require a special nailer/stapler for wood flooring? I imagine such a nailer would require staying at a fixed angle. It is possible to use a standard nailer/stapler with a jig, or something? I get the impression this wouldn't be possible, but you never know. I expect I could rent the special nailer/stapler.
Thanks.
