Oh no, one problem after another.
I went out and got some engineer, then changed to solid Mahagony and agreed with the installer to nail on second floor, and glue to the concrete on the first floor. The glue is premix with vapor barrier. He said he glue solid to concrete all the time and there is no problem. If there is any problem, glue manufacture will take care of it.
Now, I am almost give up. There is always a problem. Hate to use different types of wood in the house.
Quests:
What sort of problem with glue solid wood to concrete?
Has anyone glue solid to concrete? Any problem? Please share.

FWIW with a solid your wear layer is 1/4" before you start to sand into the tongue. You can get that with a high quality engineered too.
