So many people rave about the new floating wood floor systems that maybe that's what I'll do. I always prefer restoring original things but sometimes the expense and effort involved can just be too much.

And lately I've been thinking about how a second-layer floor would keep things warmer. Save energy etc. After all, I didn't shed a tear over having the original 21 windows replaced - why stop there? Must be practical about things.

During the holiday sales I picked up some large jigsaw-style cork pads and put them in the downstairs half bath all by myself. Even though they were extremely cheap and I don't expect them to last years, it really made a difference in there.
