So for
today:
Wall to wall
carpet came into being in my life time.
I have always preferred it to wood floors. Maybe because on cold nights it is nicer to
leave the bed stepping out on carpet.
LOL
For the first
few years of my ‘carpenter’ life folks paid dearly for oak flooring. It was slow to install and a job to sand smooth
and finish.
Today we
have some very nice ‘fake flooring’ that few who install it call it ‘Slap-down
flooring.’ It is very easy to install and not messy. WE call it floating
flooring because it is NORMALLY NEVER nailed or glued. There are some touchy
areas to cut when installing but over all it does make a good floor and looks
great.
It has not
been around long enough for long time history. It just snaps together. I installed
water proof slap down in this last bath room I did.
No matter how
nice it looks, I still prefer more carpet, that is probably the OLD MAN showing
up, and besides when you are in your 80s, methinks betting up 3-4 times a night
is normal and nice to be stepping on carpet!
LOL
What do you
think?

Well, I disagree with you on the carpet - I have such bad allergies I find the floors much better for them. I don't have oak floors but I would LOVE to have them!
Some people have carpets on the walls. I wonder why? In olden days people used to beat carpets when they got dirty. That'll teach them to stay clean! Why has no one invented wooden carpets. Basically, square wooden tiles with fur! I'll make a fortune with this invention.
God bless.
Wood flooring seems to be very popular right now. I agree with you on the carpeting. I love the feel on my feet. One of my sons just installed tile flooring that looks like wood flooring it is attractive, but i still prefer carpet.
Interesting! It wasn't always this way, but our home is 99% hard tile flooring (that resembles wood). So easy to keep clean! One of these days we're going to get around to replacing the bedroom carpeting ... and if Tom has his way, with different carpet.
I prefer hardwood floors. We have carpeted bedrooms but the carpet looks terrible now. Hardwood is easier to clean and rugs can give it some comfort.
