If you have no wood working tools or experience do have the money to

It may seem like a simple jigsaw puzzle, but the devil is in the
details.

First you have to move the appliances. I fyou don't you never be
able to move them since now they will have to be lifted up onto the
new floor.
Next lay out the floor properly.
Then remove any existing trim that is getting in the way. Being
careful if you need to reuse it.
Under cut the door way trim so the new flooring is underneath.
Lay the floor right keeping the joints properly staggered.
Use the right glue (if the floor can be installed as a glue down
floor) or the proper flooring gun with a compressor. If gluing down
don't forget the rosin paper or tar paper.
Cut the boards at the end of each run. Note you will need a chop saw
with a good carbide tipped blade.
Use a table saw to rip the last board to width
and then finish it with the appropriate shoe molding coping the
joints in the corners.

Not trying to be harsh at all but do you have any of these skills?

Thank you Cliff for a very informative advice. No, I do not have those
skills you speak of LOL..Fortunately as I was writing this, my
contractor called and said he would finally make it this weekend.
Phew!!! That's load off my mind. His truck needed a new transmission
was the reason for the holdup..would have been nice if he had told me
that in the first place...go figure.

Contractors have a book. It contains several hundred complicated, but
believable, excuses for not making appointments. The one at the top of the
page I saw was "My ex-wife set my truck on fire."
