re-asking a removed post:

Should a noob be trying to install Herringbone hardwood floor? (self.DIY)

I'm not a professional, but I did install laminates twice so far (and baseboards ) in the house.

On the main floor, however, my wife would like Herringbone (engineered maybe) hardwood. I do not have experience with the nailer nor with the pattern itself, though from youtube it doesn't look too bad of a thing. A bit tricky at the ends, but not fantastically so, it seems.

Am I wrong to try and attempt such a project or should I better leave it to the professionals.
