Thankyou for the link. That must be what our carpenter was talking about.
I believe our next door friends and neighbors did the same thing with a cherry wood "floating wood floor". They told me they couldn't walk on it or put furniture on it for three days??? The reason so many of our tri level homes up here have cement slabs is that they couldn't dig for cellars due to the ledge....and lots of boulders under the ground..........at the time, dynamiting was not allowed.........although some homes above us did have their basements dynamited. Vermont has very rocky soil with a lot of ledge.
Everything on this road is sloping.......either high up in the back....very hilly...or on the other side of the street, sloping downward in the back.
Hard to explain. So.......the homes are built "into the hill".....this one happens to be a tri level with hilly front lawn and hilly back yard and side yards.............now I know what a floating wood floor is. Thankyou.
