We are waiting to ours shows enough wear to need the re-sanding...I did a lot of research first on how and who to lay the floor, it needs to be comopressed with special tools/clamps pinned into the concrete every 6 boards and then hidden nailed, and so on. Turned out there was only a couple of guys in wa that do it right so we waited a few months for him to be avaliable and it came out very good.

didnt use pre finnished but did it my self with a drill, hammer, wedge and about 1500 nails plus glue of course. Had it professionally sanded and polished and looks a Mil $
Cut the board, line up about 6 and glue, drill a few holes in the concrete about an inch in front and wedge them together tight with a wood wedge. Drill the board and through that hole predrill your concrete and hammer in the nails.
after it drys either pull out nails or centre punch them in and sand and polish
easy
If I ever do again would use nail gun though!
