Looks good. The Primatech is an awsome nailer you won't be dissapointed. The only thing you might find with the gym edition is the magazine is so long it doesn't get close enough to the wall when starting. They have a magazine that holds 2 sticks of cleats that you could buy though if this becomes a problem. They also sell a mallet with an aluminum head which is a little lighter that is a nice option also. If you do a lot of floors the difference in weight becomes really noticeable when you are swinging that thing  several thousand times a day.

What did you use for sanding and as a finish?

 

[Old School Carpenter]

We have a Silverline floor sander and edger for main sanding chores, for between coats we sanded with 220 grit on a 6" random orbit.

Finished the floor and then we made base trim and casing from hickory on the W&H moulder to match existing trim elsewhere in the house.

That hickory is tough, had to make quite a few passes to get the profile just right. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.
