That's why i tried to dissuade her! I just cannot justify the expense of
all that, I am working on her, explaining the difference, and trying to

But you know what women are like! Hopefully she will be happy to go
with engineered, in that case, I presume I fit an underlay, then glue
the boards together.

Think the boards you described are too short to be a true solid oak floor
- an original would have had much longer ones.

I've got what I think is a engineered one - rectangles of solid oak glued
together into T&G planks which when assembled correctly don't show the
plank joins - and it looks gorgeous. It's on a wood floor with heating
pipes running underneath in places but hasn't moved at all.
