Random (non-Jeep) Shit You’re Working On....

Thanks, I’m really happy with the floor! Now we will finish out the house. Didn’t want to do the whole house to realize we wanted a different color or style.

That Jeep is sweet! I played with it first

Real wood floor? What species of wood?

Wife and I are thinking of doing wide planks of Cherry, white oak, and red oak wood floors. The planks would vary in width from 6" to 10"

Real red oak on a floor would be a terrible idea. The grain is way to pores and it would buckle in no time.

I’ll preface this with the fact that we have 3 dogs and my daughters regularly bring theirs home to run outside when they visit, but we went with the vinyl flooring this time around and couldn’t be happier. No stress with a spill, doggie accidents or muddy paws, and the new stuff looks great and is maintained with a mop. Hardwood looks great but I know I’d be losing my shit worrying about scratches on the new hardwood if we had it. We had it for almost 30 years and I liked it better worn than new

These are Cairo oak floors in the LVP family

Yeah, real wood floors with dogs is not a good idea if scratches would piss you off. We went with acaia hard wood. Was promised that it’s one of THE toughest of the hardwoods and our two labs and aussie cattle dog wouldn’t damage it at all. Well, it’s a good thing my black lab, Kota, with his black diamond tipped and fire-hardened nails was my favorite dog. It was no time before that floor totally jacked. I did lose my shit. He and the cattle dog have passed but i have the floors to remember them by.
