DIY kitchen lino vs hiring professional

Hey all,

When I purchased my home, the kitchen lino was a DIY project. I assume it was put down in the last 5-10 years. It's started to bubble up (from the lino lifting, rather than water or anything) to the point I should look at repairing it. There were a few edges that were lifting when I bought the place so I did expect this to happen by about now.

I have family friends who would help me if needed it, but their background is building. It's also a beautiful 40's build with a lot of rimu round door frames and windows, so I was going to peel it up in a pantry and see what was underneath. I'd be quite happy if the og flooring was rimu.

I can take my time with this project. I live alone so I'm not on a tight schedule to get it done.

I've searched reddit, and it seems that if I was going to do a DIY job, planks are probably the easiest way to go. Anyone ever regretted it and wished they'd hired someone?
