Cedar Strip Flooring On Concrete Subfloor
#1

I have access to 2-3' first grade Cdn cedar tongue and grove strips (varying widths).
I live in a high rise condo with concrete subfloors.
Three questions:
1) Since cedar is not hardwood, will it be durable enough for flooring (more durable with proper urathane)?
2) Can I simply use an adhesive to the concrete for the strips?
3) Any special tips to join the ends of the strips (is wood glue sufficient)?

I don't believe that I would use cedar as a flooring. It wears very easily. The urethane would only help seal it, not make it wear longer.
It's just too soft.
