That is booking. Best I ever did was 18 square off and new back on in 11 hours. Including clean up.

Best straight laying was 31 square in 10 hours.

All by myself with no help both times.

Sounds like you were pretty fast, I can do the job myself but I have never done enough to develop any speed at all. My father was an old time carpenter, born 100 years ago this coming November four. He could do it all from the sill to the roof and build custom cabinets in the kitchen. He could nail on four squares an hour with a hammer. He could make a hammer sound like a nail gun. He actually preferred driving nailes overhead to driving them in flooring and I could never figure that out, trying to hammer straight over my head is nearly impossible for me. I can lift a weight over my head but I can’t get enough speed on a hammer to drive a tack over my head. I guess that’s why I took up electromechanical repair rather than carpentry.
