Tim -I don't think anyone here was advocating telling their contractors what building materials they should and shouldn't use (unless they are a contractor themselves).I think the point of the discussion was more along the lines of who PAYS for the materials, and the tactical aspects of getting the materials paid for.As an example, my contractors can specify all the materials, and then I can pay for them and have them shipped directly to the work-site, where my project manager can ensure that everything that was delivered was either used, returned, or put in our warehouse for future use.At least that's how I interpreted this thread...sorry if I misinterpreted it...

For another alternative floating floor product, check out Surplus Warehouse for pricing....

Also set expectations about temperature in the winter/summer.

The reason for that is that when that job is done, that tool/machine/vehicle can sit on the shelf or in the parking lot or in the warehouse and cost very little to just sit there waiting for the next job.  

I would imagine some bad smells could survive the lower temperatures.

For example, an owner is using his condo as a warehouse.  

They have a new office and warehouse so if you are going out soon make sure you go to the right location.David

Temperature in the unit has gone as low as 40 degrees because of this.
