Time to replace the carpet.

The carpet could still last a few more years as it was new when I bought the place in 2004 but honestly it was a rather lack luster mid grade carpet the old owner put in just before I bought the place to help pretty the house up for sale. Seven years seems a good life span for carpet so I don't mind spending a bit of coin to get something nice.

Oerdin, I think you're missing the poll option, "Could I possibly have made a more boring thread?" If you'd like, I can add that for you.

Bannister style, proper grass length, recommendations on selecting a window washing company, size and style of garbage can for the kitchen, etc.

Lidless is more convenient.

If you plan on using a wheeled office chair on it, forget wood or laminate. They destroy them.

I put thin polyurethane foam bands on my chair's coasters.

They have floor shields for those. Which you'd probably have to get for most carpets anyway.

A cheap rug does the trick.

True, but they're the interior furnishing equivalent of a plastic pocket protector, or a wipe-clean tie.

My girlfriend and I are lazy ****s who don't take the trash out very often, so lidless would smell worse.

That's what composting is for http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/angry.gif

Get another mid grade carpet. It limits the expense of the doggy damage and keeps the girlfriends feet warm.

Wipe clean tie? Is there such a thing? If so, I'm sold on the idea http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif

We were told that it was at the pricier end of the the pine spectrum. Whatever that means.

It means "special offer for you: same pine, higher price"

Get some Armenian to sell you a carpet

that is one of the differences between housing standards on the continent and in the UK (or what people find acceptable) - proper wooden flooring is rare and even more expensive in UK than usual, so having pine floor is excellent, and I believe Cort that he likes it - especially compared to what you normally get which is carpets, or relatively often these days, but still in minority - laminates.

However proper oakwood floor is the old standard which Europeans figured out ages ago, and well - stick to it, if you can get it, you are set for life... but that is a bit counter US/UK lifestyle as people there comparatively move a lot so making a bigger investment "to last for generations" is not that popular.
