Hey there,
I just had a question. I have a new house with solid hardwood floors. We have a basement.
I also have 3 young rowdy boys :P
They love to jump alot on the hardwood floor on the main floor.. is this something I should be concerned of? Or should i just let them play?
Is the hardwood floor strong enough to endure childsplay like this? :)
Thanks!
Andy

The floor is strong, but you will probably have to refinish the floor sooner then someone without kids.
Natural wood floors require refinishing every few years, which entails sanding, staining, poly coating.
Just make sure if anythin spills on the floors, to wipe it up as soon as you can. Water/moisture to a wooden floor is disasterous.
