Frustrated Incorporated

That's the name of one of my favorite songs by Soul Asylum, a great band from the 90's, though they did release a new album this year that's getting a lot of play on WYEP 91.3, my favorite radio station. Anyway, this post is really about being frustrated, not Soul Asylum, though I felt like I needed a soul asylum yesterday. I was hopeing to get the hard wood floors put in the whole entry way yesterday, but that definately didn't happen. I, with a couple of friends started as we were told with the longest piece we could find. From there we build about four rows. Each one developed a gap that we could not figure out. After hours of trying to make it work we ripped out the flooring. By that time I was alone. I started over. The problem was that the first long board was warped! I should have checked for that! Now I'm well on my way with ten rows done and no gaps, no warped boards.
