James, I hope you don't mind if I pile onto this thread rather than start a new one. I am in similar situation...wife wants to replace the rec room/basement carpet with Pergo (click together hardwood). The room has a ton of stuff in there.

My question for those that have been there....can I lay some of the floor and put the furniture back on it before the room is "done". ie baseboards nailed down??? I have no place to move everything in that room and I'm sure as hell not taking it all upstairs.
