oil vs water on floors

I'm soon ready to apply the polyurethane varnish to my newly sanded hardwood floor. I like the look of the water based Olympic product...but I wonder if it is hard and durable enough to be a good floor varnish?

If you don't have kids or pets you could go with the water but i believe that olympic says on the can not recomended for floors. I would look for a two part water system but they are hard to apply for a diy

hardwood floor & pet stains

blind nailing question

For those of you with professional experience in installing solid wood floors. When you are blind nailing the floor, do you only nail into floor joists? This would require marking the joist on the baseboards and marking a chalk line for each joist on the 15 lb. felt paper. Or do you just nail every so many inches, joist or no joist? thanks.Read More
