I wish I had found this site and topic sooner.
in late may I purchased roughly 430 sq. ft of 3" wide by 1/2" thick australian cypress from lumber liquidators.
I wanted 3/4" thick, but l.l. claimed I was wasting my money.
this wood was for our summer home which is a year round home in the northern part of wisc. . I initially wanted a rustic hickory but was talked out of it due to hickories tendency to move and twist in the humid weather as well as not faring well in quick temp swings.
I was further told that cypress is a great wood for extreme temp/humidity changes. we will be heating our home in winter but it will be kept in the upper 50-s low 60s.
so based on the information given me by L.L. ,I purchased the wood.
last week or 9-05-08 I noticed that the boards had begun to cup ! there are no open tung to grooves. but the floor looks like its waving at me !!! further, i spent the extra money to cleat the floor [as recommended by lumber liq.]rather than to simply staple it .
everything was installed to the letter by a competent floor man.
now 2 months later this wood is junk ?
I am calling lumber liq. this morning and going to fully pursue this to the point of contesting the purchase with my c.c. company.
hard to believe with what i am reading that vila or limbaugh would put their names in association with these knuckleheads.
