On the subject of laminate flooring...I did just about the entire house with it in our last house. The rooms that didn't get it got commercial grade carpet squares. It seemed pretty durable, but the thing I didn't like about it was that it was noisy when you walk on it. Soooo....in the current house we put down vinyl strip flooring that has wood grain on it. Float the slab, put down the adhesive and lay down the strips. Looks just about as good as the laminate, but it's QUIET and soft when you walk on it. Even feels kind of warm. Seller (Freddie Mac repo) put in new carpet when we bought it, but when that wears out, we'll do the commercial carpet squares again. I love old technology, but I sure like the new how the new stuff performs when it's done right.
