Blue Gum) in 80x19mm select grade. Yellow tongue is about $36 per sheet (3600x900mm) and hardwood floor battens about $1.50 per metre and they need to be laid at 450mm centres Re: Timber Flooring Costs - is this right? 6Aug 08, 2009 7:44 pm Dukekamaya Your looking at about $80 sq. metre for Forest Red Gum (aka Qld.
