[QUOTE="DDD, post: 42283, member: 35"] Thanks for the input. husband and I have owned five homes. The lst three had quarter sawn oak real wood floors which we had the proessional polyurethane expert treat and coat. Geez, I loved those floors. The 4th home was far more modest as we had to downsize since it became apparent that we had a new baby (lol...easy child/difficult child before he added the difficult child!) to provide for. There was only carpet there and it was not awe-inspiring, to say the least. on the other hand I thank God that we found that house which had plenty of square footage, a 20x40 pool that the three of us enjoyed daily AND (YEAH!) a guest house where GFGmom lived with an interconnecting intercom system. Wow.......I'd almost forgotten those years before GFGmom decided to reproduce again etc. etc. etc. Anyway, this home is our last home. It is laid out fine, the neighborhood is satisfactory, and now I need to do as much updating as I can within limited budget. The laminate seems to be the way to go. Today, however, the flooring man told me that they have a new product that "looks like wood" "has builtin cushioning" and yet is actually more like vinyl????????????? He described it as "soft step"???????? The advantage of this product, he says, is that you don't have to worry about your kids spilling water and forgetting to clean up. Evidently that is a MAJOR problem with laminate??????? I thought laminate was impervious to damage other than catastrophic! He says that it is so long as you clean up any messes ASAP. Yikes, husband and the boys are not going to jump up and clean up a mess pronto. Not! SO......I'm going to decide in the next few days but perhaps the new "soft step" may have advantages. I am NOT meant to be a shopper! Period! Zip! Zap! I do NOT like to shop! DDD [/QUOTE]
