Default 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

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

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"

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.
