I got into the wood flooring business by accident.
By that I mean I messed up a floor royally and when I asked for help I ended up working for and learning from the guy I asked for help. God surely has a great sense of humor. Because of this "interesting" way of getting into the wood flooring business I can relate to the problems associated with trying to install, sand and refinish for the first time.
I have been in the business for the last 35 years as an employee of flooring firms and as a self employed contractor. I now prefer to work as a teacher.
My customers become my temporary apprentices and my temporary apprentices become lifetime friends.
I have experience in custom wood floors, installing, sanding, and finishing. I have done custom inlays and borders.
I have created over 4000 webpages on a wide range of subjects.
I like to follow people who have profiles that say: "Last Login: A while back." One email saying I am following them may make it change to "Last Login: Online Now."

Hi,
Thanks for the welcome back. I joined this site before it changed its name...back when I had a self-help website and published a weekly newsletter. Then I found out that the New York company that I had paid over $3000 to build the website had not done it properly and there was no way I could sell anything from it. I chased them for several months via emails and phone calls and got no response at all. Then one day when I phoned the phone was no longer in service. My temper got the best of me and I removed my website and most of the posting of articles, etc. I had done in dozens of places around the world. I didn't have anything to do with the net for over two years, then last year I started the pet blog, mostly as a tribute to my dog Teia who lays on the floor near my chair when I'm sitting at the computer. My posts are erratic, but when I feel the urge to write, I post a blog entry in her name.
Best of luck to you,
gilbertg
Hi!
Thanks for the warm welcome back. I used to live in Washington! Closer to Seattle. But as kids we had a recreational spot near Centralia called Timer Trails and went there nearly every weekend. Small world. Have a great day!
Pleased you liked my intel enough to bookmark it, I hope that it helps you to avoid osteoporosis.
My favorite part of the Wal Mart application is "nearest relative?" "7 miles." Thanks for the great laugh.
Thank you. Still figuring everything out. Took me a minute to find your note. 
Hi There :)
Great profile, I love the phrase "My customers become my temporary apprentices and my temporary apprentices become lifetime friends. "
Excellent way to run your business and a great way to look at and after your customers.
Excellent Job :)
Sincerely
Dave
Thanks, Franklyn, for the welcome. My first Qondio friend. You certainly are talented/creative because you can put into writing what you're doing and you're passionate in teaching others about how to do things. I'm also interested in wood, as I grew up in the province. Also, my father, brother and husband are all good carpenters, and they learned carpentry by themselves. See you around.
Thanks for following, great profile, hope we become lifetime friends.
How do you keep up with all those website?
Raining here in New Zealand, will be glad to see the sun shine, but that's winter.
Have a nice day.
Elsie
Hello,
Thank you very much for the follow :) and your appreciation of my work.
All the best,
Cheerful Madness!!
Saw your response to my note on glass blowing. You don't remember me? I was the kid who broke all that glass and is responsible for the glass works going under.
Thank you for bookmarking Myth number 3, it's nice to know people are interested in the intels I publish.
Adrian.
Your idea to create a jigsaw puzzle from a favorite picture is fantastic. I'm thinking of all kinds of people I'd want to send this to. Thanks.
Hi Franklyn, Thanks for your help. Good talking to you on the phone as I'm writing this. Goodbye. Larry
Hi biblefreeorg. Thanks for screening my 1st ever intel in Qondio. Looking forward to help each other...
Cheers!
Avi
We must be kindred spirits...I like some of your nonsensical comments!!
Thank you for the follow, BibleFreeOrg. I like your business philosophy regarding teaching your customers; I imagine that many still call you when they need other wood floor work done, and that all appreciate the time and attention that you offer to them.
As Jesus said, 'give a man a fish, feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.' You're giving your customers a real opportunity for a lifetime of taking pleasure in working with their hands to create a beautiful and functional addition to their homes. Kudos to you!
My best wishes to you in all your endeavors.

Thank you for joining Mainly Articles and your kind comments. I know I should really write some intel especially about article writing. I seem to spend my time commenting on Qondio instead of writing intel.
Biblefreeorg, your follow is greatly appreciated and look forward to all future interaction with you here on Qondio.
Thanks for following me. I've submitted some intel and hope to have a few pieces live soon. I appreciate your expertise.
Ask to what store was I in while taking my picture.
I was at wall mart looking around I like to look in
the stores to check out some of the new items. Never
worked in a wall mart but it is amazing to see how
many people go there. I sometimes just go thinking
how I can make my business attract people on a daily
basis like that. I think it has to do with the content
and how interesting it is. I am now applying that to my
site more and more as time goes on.
Thanks for asking.
one thing i was attract by your profile was doing business "by accident". i do some business too and it was came by accident.
now i'm going to love it
Thanks for the follow. Now following you. I look forward to reading your intel.
Hope you had a great Easter, I have another Ty Callison up and hope you will enjoy reading it. More to come in this series of Ty then some other characters want to post their latest news from my books. Best regards Peter
Hello, I can relate to your story. Our family has been in the Cabinetmaking business for about 50 years. My husband worked for a cabinet shop for almost 20 years, then just decided to go out completely on his own. We started our own business more than 30 years ago. Our son has worked with us all this time. I had to quit several years ago, when I had a heart problem, but my husband still works every day. Thanks for following me.
Blessings.

Thank you so much for the follow -
Thanks for connecting with me biblefreeorg (I couldn't locate your name anywhere.)
Incredible synchronicity here as I was just helping my bother, a stonemason/builder search for commercial flooring materials. I really like that your flooring installation customers become your temporary apprentices and then in turn become your lifetime friends. We are in Australia, so wouldn't be able to use your flooring services but it's great to meet you now as an online friend.
I couldn't understand why anyone would go out of their way to connect with me at Qondio as I haven't contributed here for such a long time now. But then I read the last phrase of your Bio: I like to follow people who have profiles that say: "Last Login: A while back." One email saying I am following them may make it change to "Last Login: Online Now."
And it my case .. Reaching out in this way has worked really well.
I receive all the Qondio newsletters, suggesting weekly themes for intels to encourage users to contribute articles on the current theme. And most weeks I feel that I’d really like to write something on the particular topic: But then time gets away once again.
BUT now .. Although the week for the Beauty theme was Feb 24 2010 I’d really like to write an article on “The power of Beauty to stimulate the ‘Creative Muse.’
And you’ll be the first to be notified when I do biblefreeorg
Once again a BIG Thank YOU.
Ally * Alison Lee Cousland
Thanks! Nice to meet you as well.
Hey, thank you for the follow, a nice way to be greeted as a newbie:) I look forward to sharing the exciting days with you:) suzi
Well I'm away for the week from Monday, so Qondio is going to have to live without my presence. LOL
Hi,
Following on from your Information Consultant intel, have you seen the original version? This looks less suspect and even has a free sign up. It still doesn't sound kosher, though - http://joinjefflong.datanetworkaffiliates.com/content/default.aspx
Hey thanks for the follow!
Thanks for the follow and (ahem) you got your wish, following me... have become more active, at last!
cheers

Hi,
first of all thank you for following me.
I am greatly impressed by the amount of intels you've entered.
I notice you had a Ferrari for sale.
My hubby and I sold many a classic car over the last 25 years, when we lived in South Africa. However, a Ferrari was not one of them.
Do you really get a backlink which is follow every time you submit one?
There was a time when I stopped submitting Intels, as I was under the impression that we never receive more than one follow backlink. On the other hand, nofollow links to our web or blog will still help for traffic.
Nice to have found you

"Last Login: Online Now." - Thanks for the Inspiring "follow" your my first ! - I'll keep this in mind when "it's been "awhile" :)
Did you know that in France - Brittany at least - they put up the outside walls, joists, lay floorboards AND THEN internal partitions? A word of caution - new floorboards are thinner than old ones! Therefore, support the partitions, especially those holding up the stairs, before replacing all the floorboards underneath ...
I can't publish this tale, because I am trying to sell my house ...
We all should learn from our mistakes.
Hi! I see you're following me, and I'm now following you, too. I'm curious - does your name, biblefreeorg, relate in some way to your work as a wood floor specialist, or does it refer perhaps to some other aspect of your life?
Melissa
Hi Biblefreeorg;
Thanks for the follow. I live in Vancouver, BC (the other Vancouver). I see you are from WA state, a neighbor next door.
Hi, biblefreeorg:
Thanks a bunch for following me. I sincerely appreciate it.
Be well.
Hi Franklyn,
It's good to know that you're a Christian. If I get around to writing the other article about what happened to me, I think you will find it most interesting to read. LJF
Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to read my article about my sleep-apnea experiences. It seems as though a few people thought it was worthwhile to read. I appreciate it.
There's a bit more to this story than I've already told and because it's a rather lengthy story, it was suggested that I write the article in parts. Good idea. I'm not sure if it would be appropriate to mention his name or not, without his ok, so I didn't.
Oh! Thanks for the 5* rating. It was more than I was initially given. :) LJF
Hi, and thank you for following my intel activity.
Franklyn, I believe I read. I wanted to stop by and leave a note. I've been a member for a while but forgot. I didn't even know how to leave a note and thought I'd have to email you and that was where I saw the name, Franklyn. Thank you for following me! I'll follow you too..., as soon as I learn how. 4000 websites! WOW!
Wynn Currie
