You can't get it right no matter what you do since no room is square so you do the best you can... here's a few tips...
* If room is a basic square / rectangle - find the center point at each end and connect them using your chalk line then measure off this line to set your first row. * If one side much longer than the other (hall attached to living room) use the long wall * If there is one feature that you must get right (top of stair case, base of fireplace) then go with that. BTW: I carry three chalk lines to get it right, one red, one blue and one with no chalk.
Use the plain line to measure, then when you have it right, use the red or blue. Then use the other one to re do it if the first one is a bit off.
you cut them so they fit
depends on the room size

Yes. I have done it. First have the hardwood floor installed. After the hardwood floor is installed have the tile installer install the tile. The reason for this is that the hardwood is very firm and has little room for adjustment. An excellent tile installer can adjust the height of the tile to be flush and level with the hardwood floor with little or no seem. When its done it looks beautiful.
The carpet especially if u consider the cost of install. 9 square ft in a squre yard. hardwood $53.55 pr yard
The carpeting absorbs more of the sound than does a hardwood floor.
Allow the hardwood flooring to acclimatize for at least 5 to 7 days inside the room it will be placed in, with the boxes open. This allows it to become used to the room's conditions before being used.
Yes, you can install a laminate floor system over existing hardwood floors. Just be sure that the existing hardwood is pretty smooth or the hump in the floor will transfer through. You must use a vapor barrier over your existing hardwood to reduce sound as well as moister transfere between two floor systems. Be sure to let your new floor acclimate to your room temp. for at least 48 hrs. this is especially important if you are installing floor in the winter.
