Tuesday Favorites….Flooring

lol.. it's still early.
but ...question for you... do hanging beads count as doors?

Only if done properly, with some '70's throwback macrame.

We have one of our sons that lives down there - he married a native San Antonian..
Plus, I'll be driving a big honkin' UHaul there this weekend with my daughter, son-in-law, 21 month old granddaughter, a one year old 'velociraptor' Puppy and three cats. Google says it only takes 14 hours driving time, but I'm hoping we'll be there by Labor Day.. ;)

I'm gonna surround myself in wood. I’m even gonna buy that fake wood wall paper. It's gonna be like a log cabin. 'cause I need wood around me. Wood

I have yellow poplar boards on the walls of my home. I bought the logs and hired a guy to mill the lumber then after letting it "season" for over a year I trued the edges, planed it and nailed it to the walls. Most of the ceilings are V-joint tongue & groove except for the master bedroom. I have red aromatic cedar there. It too came from logs that I had custom milled.

Just wish I could convince Mrs. Nalt into us getting hardwood floors...

If you were looking for a “yes”, you probably should’ve just directed it straight at stephenpe.

For most of us, it’s questionable.

I love the new vinyl planking. Ours looks like real wood, is easy to maintain, and wears well.
It's also termite resistant...I'll get into that another time...I can't yet...legal reasons.

Dad has a cabin in WNC that was built in the late 1980’s and he wanted the authentic feel to it. The hardwood floors are amazing but there’s at least a 1/4” gap in between each board. Every time you sweep, there’s really no need for a dustpan at the end.

My apologies to seedy for the photo. It’s the only one I had that showed the floor.

You continue to be the most puzzling poster here. First you invent poultry string, and now have a NDA with a linoleum company.

I knew the guy who invented the pop-up timer.. Volk...he lived in Atlanta...but not the poultry tie. There is also a hock lock...

I never said I had an NDA with a flooring company...I said my flooring is termite resistant...and why that attribute is important to me?... I don't want to/can't get into for legal reasons.

I may elaborate in the future...many here...those exposed to Formosan termites...may find it very beneficial. ..but until the issue is settled...that is all I can say.

And y'all bash me for reading comprehension...geez

He’s not really missing. Probably asleep on the road somewhere.

I’m probably looking at having to replace 1,500 sq ft of flooring soon. I wanted to do it 2 years ago, but prices went past regular stupid and straight to FSU stupid.

I’ve been holding off til prices fall to a moderate Alabama level stupid.

Anyone in the industry know when or if prices will fall. Probably looking for a fairly high end faux wood.
