We have a Wood lily C and we did the hardwood on the main floor it was 600sqf include 25% waste, not including washroom and foyer. I will double check.
You are the closest with the correct measurement but no installer should add 25% for waste!
5% is a standard procedure & is more than enough. So 580 - 600 sq. ft. will be enough for the main floor based on my calculations
Around 720 sq. ft. should be with upstairs hallway incl. waste.
rrknight, I am wondering what happened to the leftover wood from your 752 sq. ft. measurement

And also did you actually pay them for 752 sq. ft. to install?
You guys are right, I had to look for my old measurment scrap papers.
I did all the rooms on the first floor (Den, Dinning, Living room and hallway), second floor hallway and master bedroom was 1006 sqft.
The whole first floor plus second floor hallway was 752 sqft
the first floor (Den, Dinning, Living room and hallway) only was 610 sqft.
All 3 measurements included 15% for waste. I ended up with 3 boxes left (20sqft per box) which I got my money back. So it doesn't hurt to get extra, you will get your money back anyways.
