Best case scenario, all you will need is a rubber mallet, floor cutter, tape measure, floor spacers, pull bar and a pencil. All of which (apart from the tape measure & pencil) can be purchased from Flooring Online for a total of $145.

Depending on the state of your subfloor however, a floor levelling product may be necessary to achieve an even surface.
