Readers Respond: Where in the World Would You Move to be a Wood Floor Pro?

World

WFB asked its followers on Facebook and Instagram if they could move anywhere in the world to be a wood floor pro, where would they move? Here’s what they told us:

Troy Stanfield

Start in London, meander through Europe, might get stuck in Italy for a while, then Florida, work my way up the East Coast…or should I have taken the left turn at Albuquerque and gone up the West Coast, not sure maybe both, then back home to Australia.

DM Hardwood Designs

Italy.

Clint Borthwick

United States of America.

William Burnam

Branson, Mo. Or at least I think I’d like it there. It seems to be close to several places to go for the weekend, has a decent amount of greenery and water, has hills to mountains, and a large enough population with good home values to make money from.

Jorge Perez

Spain.

Michael McDermott

I'd like to work on old, historical wood floors, wherever they may be. I like the challenge and the reward is high. Traveling to different areas of the world is where I want to be.
