How do I attach real wooden flooring on to concrete?

Hiya Guys!
Sorry it's been a while before I could reply as I've been working
all over the place.
Thankyouuuuu! : ) I've been reading around and checking out
ideas and I think I need to think about how humungous this job is gonna be
(and if I should attempt to tackle this on my own). hmmmm
I don't really mind how long it's going to take as it's my little eeer
hobby/project? so long as it looks good and doesn't take forever.
Thanks again....any other thoughts are welcome

Trevor, I stumbled across one of those home renovation shows ( by accident I swear) and they where laying a hardwood tongue and groove floor on a concrete slab. Yet what they did first was to lay what looked like 7mm or perhaps 10mm plywood, and the floor on top (diagonally to the wall)
What do you think of that? Have you seen it done? How can you nail to 10mm plywood?

G'day Marc.
I have seen many T&G floors laid to ply. Mostly 19mm ply.
I would not lay to 7 or 10mm ply. It is not thick enough to get a good hold for the Secret nails or staples.
Sheets of 19mm ply get fixed to the slab via ramsets.

Btw.. There is an add in the August Timbertrader Mag for Bostik ultraset.
It shows their concrete sealer/leveler and glue.
I love their stuff for direct stick to concrete for 12mm or 19mm T&G...It Rocks.
Hooroo.
