I currently have 35.52 sq. ft. of Bagras Topaz - Handscraped on hand, so providing I can find this type of flooring
How long have you had that box of wood flooring? If its more than 2-3 years, you've got almost no chance of finding more of that exact same product. Flooring materials get discontinued over time as new products and styles come out. Considering you've only got 1 box, probably better off just scrapping that box instead of trying to go on a wild goose chase to match it.
As for installers, usually would be cheaper to hire your own installer since the flooring retailers add their own profit markup to their install jobs. But riskier to get your own installer because if any problems come up after they finish and got paid, that installer might disappear and never return your calls.

NO way I am able to do that. Not because I wouldn't want to, but because I would screw it up.
It's not hard, just very tedious.

$8K?!?!? Is that due to the recent flooding and shortage of laborers?
I don't know. I hope it's not usually that expensive but that's what I was quoted. That was just labor actually.

Just be glad he pulled out and didn't make you raise any of his kids.

You get what you pay for with installers. I don't know the work all that well, but in between my real jobs I help my friend install floors and showers and we constantly have to fix work done by cheap labor or people who tried to do it themselves and fricked it up.
Also, Pro Source in Baton Rouge could also lead you in the direction of a good installer since everyone buys from them.

Because this joke hasn't been made enough - it would probably be much cheaper if you didn't have it re-engineered and simply got it right the first time.

Fortunately never married and no kids that I know of.
