FJ,
If you don't have one already buy a power miter/chop saw...this will greatly increase your speed and accuracy also be sure to rent the flooring Hammer ...
leave about 1/4 to 1/2" around the entire parimeter (can be covered with base boards) for expantion and contraction...failing this will turn your floor into a thrill park ride in the humid Summer months and back flat in the dry winter...good luck...
OH YEAH buy some COMFY knee pads!!
