Althouse: Exile from the big room.

August 6, 2013

Waiting for the new floor.

Unknown said...: Ooh, flooring that's stained/finished after installation (what I call real flooring)? I like, I like.

The prefab stuff just looks...well, prefab. it doesn't have the look/feel of hand-finished. Like restaurants - even the best big chains don't compare to like local one-offs.; 8/6/13, 3:51 PM

I had to control myself in the showroom from over-repeating myself: This looks fake to me... it just looks fake...; 8/6/13, 3:58 PM
Ann Althouse said...: Some of that pre-finished stuff is very elaborate, like it's trying too hard, but I didn't like any of it.; 8/6/13, 3:59 PM
American Liberal Elite said...: Looks like quarter sawn red oak. Nice choice. Please make sure to keep those labby paws off that new floor for a week or two, until the polyurethane cures. Maybe some dog slippers from Amazon?; 8/6/13, 5:48 PM
Meade said...: Thanks, ALE. Ordering these.

And you're right - red oak.; 8/6/13, 7:26 PM
