Don'tcha' wish they'd just STOP 'Improving' things?

We had an apartment that had stained concrete floors in the living area and bathrooms. Bedrooms were carpet. A flea fart would sound like someone was yelling in your ear in that apartment.

They would be great for a screened in porch or something similar. But after stained concrete floors with two teenagers and all their friends in and out....... I'll pass

We really like the floating floor in our house with the good underlayment underneath. The only time there is an echo is if my wifes walking through the house in heels.

You are absolutely right. It all depends on where and what.

Now, Pergo type laminates I don’t want anywhere. But, some people love it.

Friend built a nice place and in almost every room they put commercial grade vinyl that is used in Randall’s Grocery stores Deli areas. That stuff looks exactly like wood and is bullet proof. It’s expensive but really worth it.

I have that commercial vinyl you would find in a hospital in my house work shop. I maintained that it was the most expensive floor in the house. It is quite bulletproof. I used to have carpet, and I must say, I much prefer running a vacuume over a carpet then chasing stuff around on a hard floor.

Also hurts like helll when you step on a screw in bare feet!

I found wifes ear stud while barefoot on carpet, went in all the way and then I was chastised for bending it!!!!
Such a fine shaft, such incredible pain, moreso coming out than going in.

My wife isn't obsessed with cleanliness. She's just very good at it. If she sees lint on the floor reflected in the sunlight she dust mops the entire floor.

We have hydronic floor heat. The floor feels good on bare feet Winter and Summer.

As someone said, I'm glad we live where we can have choices.

If we all had to have carpet we'd be arguing with IT on what color it would be!!!!

You didn’t have green shag carpet in the 70’s?

Saw a bright yellow lounge suite recently, you needed sunglasses to go near it, was hideous but as they say beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, even if they have no taste.

Better than a bright yellow leisure suit.

Lady friends BEL showed up a few weekends ago for a day of helping out. He was wearing a brand new Lime, Orange and Reflective silver Safety Jacket. Too funny! I couldn't look directly at it.

We built our first new house in 1979. The living room had shag carpet the color of macaroni and tomatoes....... It was hideous.....
