Say a prayer--I'm about to use some Ardex-self leveler!!
Comments (25)Glenn and Nick--you guys have been so nice and encouraging and helpful! I wish you lived nearby--I'd bake you a cake or make you a great steak dinner or somethin'!! :o) Yep, I will not be happy with this floor till I do some of that Henry's fill! We have one more bag of the Ardex left, and I've toyed with putting it down and hoping it will fix the slight inequities but---the stuff that has been down since yesterday around 1:30 p.m. still 'looks' uncured, enough, to me (the novice) to feel safe putting a moisture barrier on and start laying the planking down. If it's taking so long to cure then we'd be out another couple of days and we will have lost our window of opportunity to have our one SIL helps us lay the floor (he's working off a loan to do it) even though I feel very confident I could do that part on my own with hubby making all the cuts! We just need to let him do this! :o) So, I'm glad to hear I can just put 'Henry' over the Ardex without priming--I had guessed that might be the case but I also thought I might have to prime the Ardex that's down, in order to put more Ardex on top, so that would add to the delay considerably, as well, and then if the floor indeed is not completely cured, I might not should put the primer on it, just yet--which again....etc.!! So, trying to use some logic--I guess it's good ole' Henry! :o) I so appreciate the support you guys have given me, again, and I heartily thank you, again!!!! :o) We need to save as much money as we can on this project, given the 60%+ loss everyone invested have lost, and had counted on to make retirement more 'doable' and without your help we might have had to forget the flooring we have, sell it to our daughter and SIL and gotten carpet, which would still have been more expensive than the deal we got on this stuff!!! Sigh--if we were just starting out with this project, and didn't have the flooring from last summer, we would not have undertaken doing it at all, at this time!!!...See MoreOT....What do your coffee table books say about you?
Comments (18)I would like to make it clear that the reason I don't have a coffee table is because of lack of space! I have gone for a nest of tables in my small sitting area. I used to have a lovely glass topped one which was given to me when I lived in the UK but I had to leave it behind when I moved back to Australia. I used it for pot plants and put it where it would catch the sun,,,so still no books on it! Woodnymph, you could be right about the glue. The worst dog damage I had was when one of my deerhounds decided to tear open a couch to make a nest of the filling to give birth!...See MoreHow do you feel about a guest room with 2 F/Q beds?
Comments (44)Annette, husbands can be so inconvenient for decorating at times, can't they! Moderntropicalglam, the paint can is so old I can't really make out the color. Going by the paint used in rest of house, I am going to deduce this is a benjamin Moore CC (designer classics) collection and of those colors I think it looks like Prairie Lily. Also to you and holly, thanks for saying I'm not fluffy but it's ok! I'm pretty fine being on the fluffy side and likely have chosen photos you've seen as carefully as any gal on a dating website....See MoreNeed Your Honest Opinion About Different Floors in Adjoining Rooms
Comments (13)Is this rental in a market where the renters can afford to be so choosy as to reject a house because the floors don't match? When I last sought out a place to rent, flooring aesthetic wasn't even on my list of concerns, as long as it wasn't carpet (and that was a functional concern). It was stuff like "are there enough bedrooms" and "is the locaction good" and "is there a dishwasher". The wood floor and wood-look vinyl do not look good together, sure, but is it worth tearing up and replacing right now? If that level of detail is indeed crucial in your market, I agree with the slate-look sheet vinyl. In my old apartment, it was all original hardwood (1915 building) except the kitchen and bathrooms, which had sheet vinyl that looked vaguely like travertine. Wasn't the best looking, but was functional and super easy to maintain. Sheet vinyl is great for rentals, and they make some good looking patterns now (like the slate). For whatever reason, I've always been fine with tile/stone-look vinyl and vinyl-look vinyl, but I just don't like the wood-look stuff....See Moreteacats
