All,

Took a flier and bought a bunch of wood on Ebay. There was 70 or so bf cherry and LOTS of wide, long (16 foot) old growth pine. When I say lots, I mean more than 1000 bf. All for $650.......

LOML picked it all up today. Have to say that she's a keeper. Bright, beautiful, and strong as a horse It's gorgeous (the wood). Long, straight, and flat as a board

Anyway, on to my questions. Does anyone have any experience using this material as flooring? I've layed T&G oak and maple before so I'm not totally inexperienced. My parents have wide pine flooring that they put down themselves. The manufacturer of their floor did the normal "grooving" on the back side and they installed by face nailing the pine.

I'll have to do the "grooving myself - no big deal. This is old reclaimed lumber so I shouldn't need to do anything other than let the wood acclimate to the surroundings before installation? Any other advice and/or tips? Best. Dave.
