Excitement for this morning: A man is coming to our house at 9:00 to help Linda decided what to do with our floors. Carpet? Hardwood? Laminate? She really just wants the old fashioned roll-out linoleum so if we have an accident, she can mop it up... no stains at all! They do make that stuff now that looks and feels exactly like hardwood. When Linda was in the shop the other day, she could not believe it was a giant piece of plastic made to look like wood. Even though 99.0% of her friends and advisers would pooh-pooh the idea, she was like "Hey, you come and live here and try to keep a flooring clean when you have a barfing 15-year old cat, a dog who chews carpet threads down to the plywood and another dog whose bladder is the size of a teaspoon." OK, we're going with the old-school linoleum... How Much? she asks. The guy tells her it's more to buy, prep and install than the most expensive carpet in his store. Apparently, you have to basically redo the sub flooring in old houses to get it to lay right. Updates to follow on how the meeting goes.
