Walked into an old customers lobby, Italian Marble and brown brick, now owned by another company. Handyman was painting the bricks, yup, that God awfull white that everything has to be now. Can't have anything "outdated". There is like no coming back from that stupidity! UFB!

I’ll agree with you on not liking the new vehicles and the udder stupidity of painting brick but hardwood is far superior to carpet IMO. Yea it’s louder but carpet is nasty. I think the fairly new vinyl hardwood is the best option. It looks good and the durability and water resistance is better than real wood. I like white trim better than wood trim but I prefer wood cabinets and furniture. Real wood that is.

We had carpet in our previous house. Everything except the bathrooms and kitchen/dining room. After 18 months in a non carpet house, we'll never go back. Carpet is disgusting. As I mentioned earlier, new life forms are emerging as we speak.....

So why is carpet nasty now and it wasn't then? Or brown cupboards or my brown stove?

I owned a UTV back in 1999, when everyone else was riding around on those four wheel things with handlebars and a bicycle seat. I didn't want one then and I wouldn't want one now, but back then everyone HAD to have one! It's all just monkey see, monkey do if you ask me.

Who said carpet was ever clean? Because it wasn’t. And hardwood is probably the oldest floor beside concrete and dirt so it’s certainly not a new fad.

It's always been nasty. You peed on your bathroom carpet today. And yesterday. And the day before that. And last year.

NO! I pee sitting down when inside.:laughing: Given the choice, I prefer to do almost anything sitting down as apposed to standing up.

Nothing like seeing pubes on a tile floor, especially when wet!

Carpet is nasty everywhere but carpet in a bathroom is an exceptionally horrible idea. I don’t like vehicle carpet either but the vinyl liner seems to get water under it and rot the body so maybe that’s not great either.

Yep. I'm a Jeep guy. Best way to keep the Jeep intact is pull out all the carpet and run it bare metal.

Everyone expressed their distain about my carpet in the bathroom/shower room. I don't care! That's what I want and that's what I get! Mind you, solution dyed nylon commercial carpet. Not exactly your parents shag! lol
