Slow progress IS progress...

Soooooo... we started laying the bamboo... finally. My flooring nailer doesn't seat as well as I'd expected because the planks are 5/8" rather than 3/4" or 3/8", which are the standards... I'm gonna rig something, I think. We just used a finishing nailer at an angle on the tongue, every 6 inches or so, with 1 1/2" nails. I'll probably move up to 2" nails before we get too far in. We had to stop because power miter saws running at 9:30 in a neighborhood with kids on a school night, even when the houses are 100 yards apart, is not a good plan. Still...
It looks really cool. I'm a fan.
