Just wanted to invite anyone who is interested to check out pictures in the photo album of my house I just got through building (acting as general contractor and some small trades myself) Thanks to all who helped in answering questions and there will be more as I am about to break ground on detached garage...

Looks nice. One question: What's up with the face-nailing of the hardwood flooring?

Thanks.......I was thinking about doing it for the added rustic look (since floors have that look anyway ie: wide plank, knots, and beveled edges to show seperation) then I found out the hardwood called for glue since it was so wide. Instead of spending a few hundred dollars on glue (what I had priced anyway, Bostik's Best) I decided to definetly nail it and despite being a total PITA, I am glad I did.

Looks good dude! I love the floors. Is that engineered wood or just prefinished? I'm going to install unfinished, but you've got the color I'd like to achieve. Nice job all around!

Thanks radon, it is prefinished.
