Marilyn, that flooring sounds ideal!
I plan to show Greg the info yu shared as I am in desperate need of new flooring and would love something that's durable but looks like wood.

Thanks for sharing!

Janet you sound like me. I have been doing the same. Moved everything myself, spackled and painted and of course cleaned up as well. I still have some more painting to do but took a short a break due to All-Stars (Baseball). Not sure what kind of flooring you are looking for but I just had lamiates put in. They are wonderful. I opted for this over wood as it hold up well. I have five Yorkies and needed soemthig that would withstand them running all over it with their nails and of course the occassional piddle. LOL.

Our flooring supplier recommends the vinyl plank over laminate due to it's appearance, quietness, and durability. It is more moisture resistant than laminate and therefore more resistant to pet accidents.

We buy many thousands of dollars in flooring from her annually for clients. I don't think she would steer us wrong on recommendations for our personal home.

I'm not trying to sell either product, just sharing what we were told by someone who should know since she has to deal with manufacturers and their warranties for the various products on a daily basis.

Wow love that we have a lot of wooden flooring around our house but it noisey, this sounds ideal but have not seen it over here.

Janet I just read your thread and I hope that your feeling better, I bet your house is looking beautiful. Post those photos

Marilyn you have not aged since the wedding, those little snots what do they know...lol anyone over 30 is old to them... Btw you still look beautiful.

The vinly flooring looks great, when I go to some homes it is really hard to tell from pergo and vinyl.

Thanks for all the flooring ideas, I really appreciate it. I've been wanting new flooring for a couple of years now and I'm hoping once I get the painting done I'll be able to get it. Tile isn't really a good option for us I don't think. We keep our home cooler in the winter and sometimes the carpet seems cool, so tile would be freezing. I friend of ours has vinyl in her kitchen and I loved it, but it was all one piece...looked like wood.

Where I would really like it is in my family room, but don't think I could get anyone to lay it correctly. Our fireplace is a mixed store fireplace so it where it meets the floor it's not straight by any means like a brick fireplace/hearth would be. Don't know if they could get it to look right or not. Still, I've got to get the painting done first so I'll check it out more later.

You're so right Tink about the recovery time. I was so sore Wednesday night that I was constanctly waking up in the middle of the night in pain when I would rollover or move. Once I got up yesterday and started moving around then the soreness worked itself out.

Janet, I'm sorry you're sore! Are you taking a hot bath at night when you're finished. Then, take 2 advil, and go to sleep. It does feel better when you walk it off, doesn't it. I can't wait to see pictures.

You know what Marilyn. I had forgotten all about the vinyl. I'm definitely going to look into it. I'm taking up the rug all through the house for the usual reasons - the dogs, it's not mine, and it is turquoise! Bright turquoise.

I would certainly like to save money, and it looks great in the pictures.

I don't know yet what I want to do o the stairs. I may go with a compatible color carpet with treads. I don't like the idea of slippery steps.

Any ideas?
