Just put everything up about 3 feet from floor.

Move all plants up to counters and maybe a gate for the kitchen so you don't have to worry about babe getting into cupboards.  Also for any stairs.  They have those socket covers that are very cheap and I would put them in outlets and always make sure the toilet seat is down. Other than that, enjoy.

Mazel Tov - Hebrew for Good luck, Congrats, et al.....not a lot of people know Hebrew but I, for one, understood the words of the other poster....

Did my floor from Lumber Liquidators as they seemed to have the BEST prices.  Once you do the floor, the rest should come easy - you would match the floor to your furniture for blending purposes (in your head) and I found the rest fairly easy once I painted the rooms.....Have fun if nothing else!! 

It seemed a lot of the RNs thought they were the most elite part of the hospital/society and treated everyone that way.  What I despised most though is that they would do their patient assessments, charting, then sit around the nurses station and gossip while we did the majority of the work and they would try to shove as much as their job on us as they could, even things we were not qualified to do.  They also were the most unprofessional people.  They were the ones that tended to make fun of a patients ailments, body habitus, lack of education etc., than any other personnel in that hospital.

There were some good RNs though that knew their place but it seemed that they were few and far between.  The real good RNs did not stay long at that little rinky-dink county hospital, they were just there to get their experience and go to bigger and better places.  Glad that is ancient history for me now as far as dealing.

I wonder if Pebble Tech is the right choice.  One adult, four animals, 1400 sq. foot.  What I am concerned about is being able to keep it clean and how comfortable they are to walk on with bare feet.  Cost is fairly reasonable when compared to tile and the look I like (the beach!).

Anyone have experience with this type of flooring?  Will it make my home look like a business rather than a home?  Is keeping it clean a hassle? 

Thank you much!

We hope to put new flooring down in the house soon.  I really like the look of linoleum in the kitchen.  We are having a hard time deciding on a carpet color.  A light neutral color or maybe a lighter green would be nice but any lighter color will show everything I'm sure.  We have a really dark burgundy carpet now.  Although I don't really care for the color it is now, it has really held up to stains since it is so dark.  We thought of putting hardwood floors down but not sure if we want to put it in the kitchen too.  I'm thinking it would probably look better to carry the hardwood floor throughout the house--including the kitchen--but I really would rather have linoleum there.  How would the hardwood floor (probably the medium color--not the real light or the real dark) look next to a kitchen with linoleum?  Would that be tacky? 

Thanks for the opinions.  I really can't decide.  We know we will be looking at it a really long time so we want to be satisfied with our decision.     

I know it says you don't have to rinse, but I feel like there is something, not sticky necessarily, but just something still on the floors.   Am I using too much solution as I mop?

Help, hubbie's feet stink and not just normal sweaty stink, but really bad! He woke up this morning with feet very red on the bottom and when he stepped on the wood floor he said they felt like they were sticking, not like sweat but like something oozing from them. Sorry for the graphic description, but we can't figure out what it might be. Anyone with any thoughts or suggestions on what he should do would be appreciated. I, of course told him he should go to the doctor, but he is a man and is very stubborn about this unless he is dying! I should note he has a cyst on one foot that he refuses to seek treatment for because he does not want to take the time off of work as he will ultimately have to have it removed surgically, but could this be part of the problem and why both feet now?

TIA

Any ideas for cold feet and frozen hands (fingers) when working?

What was all the hipe about?  The kids and I were bored, bored and more bored.  Couldn't wait for the darn thing to finally be over.   Glad it was a free rental.  Not worth the $$$$ in my opinion. 

This is almost better than watching TV sometimes.
