Dear James: I’m on a limited budget, but I would like a parquet hardwood floor in my dining. Is that a project I can do myself to reduce the overall cost?—Judy S.
Dear Judy: You will find parquet flooring “kits” that are intended for the average do-it-yourselfer. It is much easier to lay a parquet floor than a standard strip floor. The pattern of small pieces of a parquet floor makes slight misalignments much less apparent.
