            <title>Subject: Need info on pre-finished flooring - by: rutledj</title>
            <link>http://www.diy-hq.net/diy-forum/flooring/need-info-on-pre-finished-flooring.html#4882</link>
            <description>Most of my home has 3/4&quot; oak flooring with a poly finish. The bedrooms have carpet. I now want to add hardwood to these rooms but do not want to go through the pain and smells of the original.

I really know nothing about the pre-finished flooring accept that price varies wildly. I know there is engineered and locking planks but don't know the pros and cons of each type. 

Hoping someone here can at least guide me away from the crappy stuff. Also, I need to be able to match the height of the hall flooring (3/4&quot; oak) and not sure if I can find a combination of underlayment thickness to even it up.

Thanks,
Rut</description>

            <description>Increasing the size of the bathroom is one of the best things you can do to make your bathroom more luxurious. Also you could get one of those showers with five to ten shower heads. I know I have always wanted a shower like that.</description>

            <link>http://www.diy-hq.net/diy-forum/introductions/hello-from-a-newbie.html#4855</link>
            <description>Hi, I'm new to the DIY spots and I was surprised by many workarounds from some people using their DIY products. I'm actually a student at filmmaking &amp; I really want to go to that field later. But unfortunately, the tools are very expensive (Lens, tripod, monopod steadycam, among others) and since I'm a beginner, I think it will be wiser to go the DIY way for a while, for obvious reason (money mostly). So, for a first, I would like to work on a heavy duty monopod &amp; eventualy a tripod. Some people told me to not go that way and it will look like crap (for the tripod, even if made out of wood) and it that's useless for the amount of work that's worth. But, since I'm just a student with no much money and that $ 300.00 is a very (too) long shot at the moment for a student unemployed till summer and who have other important debts to take care of. So, that's why I would like to do these DIY. It must be possible to do a decent job out of this, I'm sure. So, can anyone help a total newbie with this ?

Thanks to answer</description>

            <title>Subject: Outdoor Dance Floor - by: DRIFT-O-MATIC</title>
            <link>http://www.diy-hq.net/diy-forum/flooring/outdoor-dance-floor.html#4841</link>
            <description>I’m looking for ideas for a material that I can use to create a permanent outdoor dance floor.  I have an existing 16’x20’ concrete slab in my back yard in west central Florida, which I would like to turn into a professional party dance floor.  I originally thought about installing a wood composite deck on top of the slab.  However, because it requires gaps to allow for drainage and ventilation, I rejected the idea.  It would not work, because high heel dance shoes would get caught in the gaps.  

It would be ideal if there were some type of material that can be applied to the surface of the slab, whether in the form of a sheet good, like vinyl flooring or applied topping, like rolled-on paint.  Wood floors are perfect for dancing on, because the material gives somewhat to the pressure of walking on it.  Concrete, tile, and stone are exhausting and painful to dance on for any length of time.  Therefore, I would like to find something that would resemble the softer properties of wood, but without the drawbacks of its vulnerability to weather, sun, and insects.    

Some of the requirements are as follows:
1.  Resistance to UV rays, insects, rot, and any other damage from Florida’s harsh weather elements.
2.  Flat, smooth, level surface without cracks, gaps, or warping. 
3.  “Giving” density, so it will be easy on the feet and legs after hours of dancing.
4.  Surface that will allow gliding, spinning, and turning (but not slipping) of suede-bottomed shoes.
5.  Permanence and durability, to last several years of dancing and exposure to outdoor elements.
6.  Wash ability with a garden hose and broom.

ANY suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.  David
