Cold Floors!!!!!

[big4life]

Yes hardwood floors look nice, but damn they are cold. Especially when you just get out of the shower.

And my dog has my warm bedroom shoes in her mouth.

GGGGGRRRRRRWWWLLLLLLL!!!

We are building a house and going with 18" Tile throughout the whole house except for the Bedrooms.

I have Always had wall to wall carpet since I was a child and this is the one thing I'm not sure I will like.
Cold Floors in the Winter.

Luckily, its only 40 or so in the winters instead of zero.

SOCKS ?

i got concrete floors in my place...

Yeah, I have my socks on, but I'm still cold.


You will learn to appreciate rugs on your floors. Besides the cold, they also help with keeping the noise down.






Maybe I should put on something besides just socks?

I actually like the feeling of a cold floor. Call me cold blooded. It wakes me up and definitely makes me more alert.

I love hardwood floors.....but you are right they are very cold in the winter. I always have thermal socks on. The only other downfall is I can always tell which room the dog is heading for..."tap, tap, tap."

Try having a dog that likes to run down the hallway and slide like a kid.

It can be the middle of the night and if she decides she wants to play, you hear her take of running and the she will try to stop, only to slide. That or she will turn her bowl over and push it along the floor with her nose while she chases it.

Since our winters aren't too bad, you're gonna LOVE the coolness the rest of the year.

A word of caution though...walking on the grout will dry your feet, so get the grout coated with the stain prevention sealer stuff...and have lotion on hand. I guess there's lye or something in grout like there is in cement.

All us Fight Club lovers remember "lye" right?

I have already been informed that I will be having a Grout Sealing party immed after we move in... My back hurts already.

I love the thought of a Dog racing down the hall at 2 in the morning playing slip and slide...

I just also thought of the problem of where I'm gonna comfortably lie down on the Tile Floor after Thanksgiving Dinner ?
Area Rug ? Couch ? Bed ?

Get a feather bed...they're comfy, will protect you from the coldness, and they squish down well to easilly tuck away into a closet when you're not using it. I miss my old one! My daughter and I just to lay one down on the floor in front of the tv and play and snuggle on it together.

I think a cold toilet seat is worse. I fucking hate it when i am cold and the toilet seat is fucking freezing.
