Nail fungus, or onychomycosis, is a condition that occurs when a microscopic fungus enters either a fingernail or toenail. Fungal infections occur in toenails more often than in fingernails. Anyone can get nail fungus, but infections are more common in people over the age of 60. For people who have diabetes or a weakened immune system, nail fungus can present serious risks.
Finishing Up. Most unfinished hardwood floors require one coat of sealer and at least two coats of protectant finishing. Sealing is very important, especially under polyurethane finishes, because it seals the wood and helps to prevent panelization; the separation of groups of boards from others or from the rest of the floor.
The cost to install hardwood flooring will vary depending on: 1  Species of wood. 2  Flooring type -- solid wood planks, locking, or engineered hardwood. 3  Complexity of the installation -- unusual room layout, steps, custom borders or patterns. 4  Finish.aterials -- Popular kinds of wood flooring include Brazilian cherry, hickory, maple, red oak, and white ash. If sub-flooring replacement is necessary, this will add to the cost. Supplies -- The flooring contractor will supply equipment and supplies such as a level, staple gun, and adhesive, as well as protective gear.
