Possible Gloat?

My uncle is getting divorced and moving into a new place with little
storage. Several years ago he purchased 800 sq ft of 4" Maple 3/4" T&G
hardwood flooring for the upstairs of his house and because of medical
problems he never got around to installing it. I was talking to him
yesterday and he said he just wanted to get rid of it because he didn't have
a place to put it. I asked how much he wanted for it and he said "How about
$150?".. I wrote him a check right then.

Now I am deciding if I should install it in my house or use it for projects.
Decisions decisions...

Good question! I'm not well versed in the gloat protocol, that's why I put
the question mark. :)

Nah, don't feel guilty. He sold me the Mercedes for $100 and the Unisaw for
$10. Oh, and I'm taking over his membership at the country club since is it
paid up for the next two years. Gloat? I think you got screwed.
