WOW, My floors are done. They look fantastic! Stairs turned out great as well.

Thank you all for the help!

Tid Bits for DIYers in my situation:

Brazilian Cherry, Beautiful, hard to nail, split tounges, splinters are like metal splinters.

The Harbor Freight floor nailer worked flawlessly! At $130 I couldn't have rented a nailer for a week. It's for sale BTW

U-SAND worked great once I had my wife ride on top (Literally) during the 40 grit sanding. After that it was easy and fool proof. The first room without her on top took 4 hours the hall and the next room took an hour and a half.

Urathane glue on the steps is the way to go no question. They don't squeek and are rock solid. It's a little messy but cleaned up well.

Bona Traffic: AWESOME! Spend the money! No smell, easy, dries fast, tough! I have an extra gallon BTW.

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks again all! :D

I'm putting the baseboards and transitions in this weekend. I'll take photos and post them after. I promise. :wink:
