If you have wood floors in bath -- would you do it again?
Comments (7)may-flowers Well-finished hardwood actually is less likely to retain any unpleasant liquids, or their residue, than tile with a cement grout. Grout sucks up moisture unless it is newly sealed. What usually happens is that it get behind the baseboard, where it is hard to get at. True for tile, vinyl, wood, etc. Leaving puddles around the urinal is never a good idea, and will cause problems no matter which flooring you choose. Find the puddle maker and tell him/her to knock it off. Look menacing. If it continues, withdraw the contractor's bathroom priviliges -- he can go get a porta-potty....See MoreTigerwood Flooring - if you have it would you do it again
Comments (3)We have Bellawood Brazillian Koa solid wood installed in our 2-story home. It's been a year and I love it more than when we first had it. We have 2 large dogs and there are some scratches in main floor area and kitchen (high traffic). The scratch is only to the finish and can only be seen in certain angles. It's held up much much better than the bamboo flooring. The reason I like it now better than before is the way it's honeyed up since and is similar to brazillian cherry but a lot more characters....See MoreWhat range/cooktop do you have? Would you buy it again?
Comments (18)I bought a Capital 305 (four regular burners plus a big wok burner in the middle) a year and half ago. I had just joined this forum and had range envy. Viking was going through some growing pains, Wolf was a budge buster. I walked in as they were uncrating this model at the appliance store and it was love at first sight! Would I buy it again? That's a tough one. It was a lot to spend for a 30" range, and the economy is down right now, so probably not. I don't cook any better on this range than I would an a less expensive range but I do cook more often because I like being there, in front of my pretty range, LOL. Dh and I have decided that our next range will be induction, which wasn't available to us in a 30" range when we were shopping. I'm 46, he's 53. If this range lasts 15 years, induction ranges will be common and we'll be old[er] and appreciate the safety of them. Plus I won't need as many pots and pans so I won't cringe at having to get rid of all my stuff for magnetic cookware....See MoreIf you have composite decking, would you do it again??
Comments (4)We have a Monarch Composite with EB-TY concealed fasteners. It replaces our 30 year old clear, old growth, Redwood deck. (80% of which was still in good enough shape to sell for re-use!!!) So far, so good. Termites are no longer a problem....See MoreKatrina Tate
