I love wood, too. But I don't know nearly as much about it as you do. I am learning. A little. We were thinking about maybe, instead of wall-to-wall carpet in the rec room, we might put hardwood floor, and were looking at hardwood flooring at Home Depot. But the rec room is in a walk-out basement, and they had signs saying you can't put hard-wood in the basement. So I asked the guy in the orange uniform "why?" and he said because you can't nail wood to concrete. "Oh, so, what if you put a subfloor?"

I can't decide whether I love or hate that split second where they do the tiny head-snap when I say something like "subfloor" or "underlayment". Both, maybe. But they keep the face impassive, and shift into guy-talk mode smoothly, after that first teentsy hitch.

Guys. Sheesh. ;^)
