Good to see ya here VC.
Seems like everyone here has been in the trade for quite a while.

How come the new guys in the trade don't search out information from flooring forums like the one that are easily available to everyone?
Are they to busy with 'important stuff' like texting or hangin out with friends on Facebook?
I find it amazing with the many tens of thousands of flooring installers throughout the world........... only dozens even come to the forums to learn or teach. Kind of a sad thought.
