I have no idea why I read this post. Maybe I wanted to see how the other half lives? 
Seriously, because of the size how much harder is it to lay? I imagine the floor has to be pretty darn flat?

That's intimidating.

Who put all the wood there? That's right where I need to start!

Probably the same reason as me. When I saw the big 10" I had to check it out but for a different reason as he posted.

For obvious reasons Daris I cannot post nude pics of myself.
If you got 10 then you better spit it out, it don't belong to you. Just saying. :machine gun: :machine gun:

Its going very well. The woods made in Indonesia. Not so good. But prefinished with woca oil. Finger jointed 3/4 inch thick 3 ply. At least a 5mm lamella with a perfect balanced core and bottom. Which not many manufacturers seem to understand Ten footers are difficult to make end cuts on so i try to layout the row ending with small lengths.
In that last image and thinking about the width and length of those boards, I'd have to assume they are pretty much self aligning when gluing together the second row, when doing a long room?
Hmm, well I scribe the wall part for the first row and brace the end joints with a spacer. Then on the second row I put the ratchet strap on the end joints to keep it in place and pull the floor together nice and tight.
I do that for the first three rows and go do something else until it sets good. Did that answer your question?
This stuff is a dream to put together. Had much worse 5 inch stuff thats bowed and tweaked.
I think that does. Thanks.
