Since we switched over to contractor pricing for everyone, we have not been able to have a sale!
So this is big news!
The company that manufacturs these floors have decided to drop a few lines to bring on a few more, so we get to pass the savings off to you! While supplies last that is...
Check out these gorgeous Cork floors here for the darker ones (the Diana and come check them out in person! |

What is IndieGainesville?
IndieGainesville was conceived to support independent businesses in Gainesville, Florida and to encourage the self-expression of individuality that truly makes Gainesville unique. In the same spirit of the Keep Austin Weird campaign, we stand firmly against Big Box retailers and support our local businesses, as well as the running man (you know what we're talking about) and other local characters.
Questions & Answers:
What is indiegainesville?
Indiegainesville is a collective of locally owned, independent businesses in Gainesville. We started to indiegainesville to celebrate the unique, indie-spirit in Gainesville as well as to ensure that the voices of local businesses all over Gainesville are given equal consideration and that our voices are heard in public forums. This collective of indie businesses in Gainesville unites to support one another when issues arise, and to work towards reaching viable solutions.
Who is the President?
Indiegainesville doesn't have a President, Head Honcho, Dictator, or any other appointed leader. As a true democracy, we all come to a consensus on whatever issues we may be facing. We are small enough to be able to benefit from our democracy, yet large enough that our collective voice can be, has been, and will continue to be heard and together, we can make a positive impact on the local community.
You have no leader? You must be disorganized.
Not at all. As we stated, we are small enough that we can have a true democracy, yet large enough that our collective voices will continue to be heard. We are motivated to work together with respect in order to protect and preserve the indiegainesville culture.
What is the structure?
Membership to indiegainesville is free. There are no dues.
Indiegainesville is a pure labor of love by locals (and for locals) to protect the interests of independent Gainesville, to protect the livelihoods of the independent local business owners and their employees, and to ensure the vitality of the Gainesville community and indie culture.

Every moment you spend idling your car's engine means time spent needlessly wasting gas, as well as rougher wear on your vehicle. So give it a rest, and avoid idling through your days.
One of the ways the much-praised Toyota Prius is able to achieve such impressive fuel economy is by having a computer cut out idling automatically: when you aren't making headway, the gas engine shuts off. For regular cars, it doesn't make sense to shut off the engine at every stop sign. (Even though Environmental Defense found that idling for more than 10 seconds wastes more gas than is required for startup.) But, you should certainly kill it when you are waiting for your date to finish getting ready. Or when your honey has to run into the bank to cash a check.
Overall, idling Americans burn 2.9 billion gallons of gas a year, worth around $78.2 billion, according to a recent report from Texas A&M. That doesn't count the damage done to idling engines by incompletely burned fuel.
Many communities have organized "no idling zones" around schools, churches and other locations. At least 15 states, and many counties, have laws that restrict idling for large diesel engines. New York City and New Jersey have laws limiting idle times of passenger vehicles, but enforcement is lax. Read more: http://www.thedailygreen.com/going-green/tips/idling#ixzz1qLJpDVeh |
