1- Always use common sense and be respectful of others. We get a variety of opinions; some of which are completely valid, while others are of questionable authority. With hardwood flooring no answer will be perfect. Much depends on your location, climate, and the norm for your particular area.

2- Foul language or attacking others, often called flaming on internet message boards, will not be tolerated. This forum is not a source for personal or private feuds. Warnings will not be issued.

3- Online sellers? If you have useful knowledge and information to share, by all means do so, but we're not a promotion site. Links to products not allowed.
