Thanks for the tip... I looked at that stuff but finally settled on the tongue and groove due to cost considerations. Basically you had to get a nice underlayment so it wouldn't sound hollow. Would have been a lot more expensive (since the bamboo tongue and groove was on sale).

More no wind stuff... had to strap the camera to my kiteboarding helmet to video this. I must have looked like a complete fool.

Jamie Van Dorn is the man for flooring, I have seen several of his jobs (in high end homes) and he does beautiful work. He's also a great networker and given me plenty of referral work in my own business. His # is (813) 810-4477

Maybe we could add a barter section on this forum for those who want to keep their money among kiting professionals and kiter friendly businesses.

Hiring a contractor is an important decision. If you hire a "kiteboarding contractor" and have an urgent deadline during the windy season, you are ScReWeD......:p
