I just laid down another 400 square feet of laminate flooring. Damn I'm good. Our new place had pink carpet and walls throughout, smelled of cigarettes and baby poop and was dirty. a few weeks later we have hardwood throughout, new (nice) wall colors and a beige carpet in the upstairs bedrooms and hallways. This place is very nice.
I have heard that renovating a home can put a lot of strain on a relationship, but with my wife we really come together and seem happier when we're busy with these sorts of projects. SHe has the style and I have power tools. I've learned to trust her insticts on most things because she can visualize the end product, I fumble along and come up with the odd good idea, like laying the pattern of the wood grain opposite in the porch to seperate it from the rest of the main floor. Genius I know.
The place looks fabulous and didn't cost us a thing, the new landlord doesn't mind letting us renovate and we are happy not to live in pink carpet filth and scummy walls. Now if we could get the dogs to leave it be, we'd be laughing.

I had a leaky roof on ours (gallons and gallons) and it held up fine. This is the same stuff that some shopping centres use (Ikea) and it holds up to shopping carts and hight traffic, not to mention all the stuff that gets dragged around there. I would suggest thicker than 7 milimetre, and don't be cheap if you want the good stuff.
