Floating a 3/4" Solid Hardwood Floor Over Above Grade Concrete?

We've got floating (over foam layer) floors in a a few rooms in the house. Its ok, but I don't like the feel. The rest of the house has a paint on vapor barrier. They stuff I did myself is great, and feels good to walk on. The areas I hired a licensed flooring contractor to do have squeaky boards everywhere. They also used my bandsaw to trim boards and corners and broke half a dozen blades. Priddy shiddy. Several things they didn't even know how to do. I had to tell them. If I ever redo the floor in the house it will all be glued down over paint on vapor barrier and no f^&king flooring contractor is going to touch it.

ya dude, lyke in da last fluud dem boards started floaten real gud, dun near made it down de mississippi to naw orleans, but a gator swam out and chomped off my left leg, durn near dyed, best to anchor dem suckers.

I hope you get this question 14 years later. I'm thinking of doing exactly what you did and want to know if you ever had any issues with the floor. Thanks Dano
