Also, if you keep a box of extra pieces, you can remove damaged pieces and replace them yourself, which is pretty sweet.<br /><br />So glad you are not going the route of the laminate!<br /><br />Btw, if you ever want to tile a basement or something, my mom did that wood-looking tile, and despite my hollering about how awful it was going to be, it actually looks fantastic.

Anyway, we don't want to drop a thick hardwood floor on top of that or our ceilings will feel super duper low.

(I'm trying to figure out how many months of entertaining posts we're in for.)<br /><br />Going back two posts, I can't figure out what you meant when you were talking about your flooring conundrum. You were going to do something to the ceiling to make it parallel to the uneven floor? <br /><br />You were talking about doing laminate, but we've had one bad experience after another with laminate. If you really can't do hardwood, maybe cork or just get a great vinyl floor? I know numerous people who rue the day they were talked into doing anything higher-maintenance than vinyl. And some of the products look pretty great. http://www.armstrong.com/flooring/products/luxury-vinyl. <br /><br />Laminate looks like wood floor's ugly cousin to begin with, and then someone drops a glass of water or something heavy.... Maybe there is some amazing line out there that could endure six kids and a dog, but I've lived with about seven different laminate floors, all disastrous. If you *do* find the miraculously resiliant laminate, I'm sure we all look forward to knowing about it. My landlord has to replace the laminate in the kitchen because the fridge leaked, destroying the floor.
