Talked to my local lumber yard and bought tongue and groove mohogany
for the front porch flooring of my rental. It is not big, 7 by 7. Any
tips on installation? The lumber yard suggested stainless steel screws
at every joist.

Sounds like a mistake.

Is this an enclosed porch?

Follow the instructions on the package, or better yet, go to their
web site and look for installation instructions.
