Using Kiln dried fine for Hardwood flooring....
I was thinking of trying to save money on the premade hardwood flooring
and just using pine strips (kiln dried) for flooring insted. I would get an air nailer to make sure the nails are deep enough, then stain and varnish. Does this sound like a good idea, or what should I do insted? Thank you in advance. |

The pine is more likely to get dinged and dented. |

one of the most beautiful floors i have ever seen was a red pine floor,
out of tongue and groove 4 to 6" wide planks. definitely a "shoes off" floor, and you still will have tolerate dings and dents. but do dings and dents ruin a floor? kind of depends on the style of your house. |

Considering the fact that T&G SYP can be bought for very
little money, why would you attempt to "make" flooring ??? The last time I looked at syp flooring, it was under $2.00 a square foot. wrote: I was thinking of trying to save money on the premade hardwood flooring and just using pine strips (kiln dried) for flooring insted.
