[Shop-talk] Appliance rollers

[Scott Hall]

I can't help with the rollers, Karl (I'm assuming you're looking for a 
permanently mounted setup, I've just been using my furniture dolly), but 
I'd love to hear more about the hardwood floors on a concrete slab.  Did 
you glue them?

My wife would like hardwood over out slab, but despite all the articles 
I read about them people keep telling me not to do it.  But none of them 
have done it themselves, jsut that they're sure it's a bad idea.
