Yeah I responded, the internet is acting weird tonight. Looks like a blemish. Early season pollination is not always a perfect process. I don't think you have anything to worry about, it is character.

Hi everybody, first let me express my joy that the forum is back! Yipee. The cost of the cork is quite variable. The local store I first saw it in normally sells it for $11 sq foot, but it was "on sale for $8 sq/ft", still too high. Found it online for around $6, but then when I had to order more due to the project expanding, I found it from the same dealer online for around $5 sq foot. I know there are different cork flooring styles out there, but I really liked this one. Some cork floors have a weird feel to them--kind of squeaky feel for lack of a better term. Even with socks on they bothered me (weird I know, must be a sensory issue). But this floor is smooth and I just loved the look. When I was thinking about what to do, I didn't want tile (too hard), and then there was the issue with the matching of hardwood to the foyer. This just solves all the problems because despite that fact that it looks like wood, it looks different since the planks are about 7.5" wide. Thanks for your input and compliments. Hope my pictures helped pass the time without our forum.

Sometimes one's message may disappear when one doesn't put enough post-age on it. But that often doesn't happen, as the post office usually returns it to the sender to have more post-age added. o j

I wonder if Allegra shows up on the Landscape Design forum. Dare I try to post a 5th time? If that doesn't work, I think I'll attach the photos to the Gallica thread I started. Peculiar is the word! Is this the other side of the looking glass? Sheila, care to attend a tea party? We can paint our roses red! Carol
