When I was building my lake home 10 yr's ago I found a saw mill in DeKalb Texas that had 3/4" white oak tongue and grooved. My living area and kitchen, separated by a bar and stools, are all one room 20x40' and I have no regrets with the wood floor. Never had a problem with water stains or any other kind of stains. It's easy to take care of and easy to clean. But after setting the floor the sanding was the worst thing about it. The wood dust was everywhere, luckily I have several double wide doors that we left open and one single wide door for ventilation. I would not recommend doing this in a home full of stuff because of the sanding dust. But it turned out to be a beautiful floor in a 3 story all open except for the master suite and bath. I would do this type of wood floor again but I would take everything out of the house or do it in a new, not finished home.

Thanks all! We are leaning towards the tile. I am a tile installer. Ask me any or all of your questions.. first tell me what the subfloor is how thick and what the joist spacing is. I have done a few of the plank tiles they come out good.

When I read these posts I must admit I realize the extent of my knowledge and experience when it comes to construction or engines is terribly inadequate. I'm impressed with your collective universe of knowledge - I just wish some of you lived closer!
If the world goes down the toilet I sure hope my village has a need for a guy who can grow fish, garden, use a smoker, or make lump charcoal or I'm probably going to be served as dinner. Yikes!

Much appreciate your generosity, Fish. I will check on the dimensions you mentioned. Brother TJ, when this world makes it's last, slow spiral before exiting the drain, you feel free to call me if your lawnmower won't start that final time....I've got your back.

I'm counting on it, Tony - as I want my lawn to be in pristine condition just before the final flush - might get me some points I desperately need.

Yes, the alien overlords do place great emphasis on property maintenance. That whole pesky, taking care of the earth thing and all.

Major inconvenience! I have to walk 2 feet past the garbage bin to access my recycling bin. I mean, I'm all about a living planet and all for future generations, blah blah blah, but it's kinda getting ridiculous the lengths to which I'm going here. It can be brutally cold or unbelievably hot and humid in NE, and I do suspect it's taking a toll on my health...two feet there, two feet, back...dang - it adds up over time!

We recently installed laminate in one of ours and have already had issues. Would not recommend laminate. Second the tile recommendation.

I'm sure you're sacrifice is appreciated, TJ. Perhaps they will reward you by waiting until the very end to recycle your DNA.

Went laminate throughout our upstairs last year and also having issues. It's not noticeable to guests, but is to us. We've looked into vinyl tile and like the sound of it.

How far to recycling bin, Josh? Way too far. And we have two of them. One in the back, one in the front. It's not too bad until that one day a week and it's exhausting. Think I should use the skidloader from now on.

Yes, and be sure to use non renewable fuel in loader...maybe some liquefied Koala bears? Too far?

Shipping on Koalas is killer...they fail to mention that during the marketing spiel - surprise surprise. Fine print on invoice, by then it's too late, cc has been charged...dang Aussies. I personally blame Scotty.

Omaha, read the warranty on the vinyl tile. Mine is starting to loose it's stick (glue) about 6 months after the warranty ran out.
I did linoleum in the laundry room, but no matter how careful I was moving the washer, I still poked a hole in it. I won't use it again. To me, being a novice at laying it down, it was a PITA. It didn't help that the room wasn't square, plus there were a lot of cut-outs.

We will definitely do a lot of research before we do this again. Shipping on Koalas is killer...they fail to mention that during the marketing spiel - surprise surprise.

vinyl tile. Mine is starting to loose it's stick (glue) about 6 months after the warranty ran out. I had some vinyl tiles in a small utility room at my old house and after about a year the seams would slowly start getting wider and wider. I suppose it could have been from the vibrations of the washing machine, but I too decided " never again".

About 6 months to a year before the glue showed noticeable signs of failure I noticed the gaps too.....
