So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Flooring Options - Doing Your Best With Them

By Jerry Watkins


How does your floor look to you? Do you wish it was made of different material? Are you trying to make your home more green? Would you prefer to have something easier to clean? Ask yourself these questions when you get ready to do your next remodel. Research the available options to find what materials suit your needs and desires best. Of course, first you need to figure out what you need and want. The following ideas can be used to help you decide on the ideal flooring for you.

Did you know that you can have rubber floors? It may sound dangerous but its true. This is the most common flooring used in schools because it is easy to keep up, easy to clean and can withstand a lot of harsh treatment without needing to be replaced. Using rubber flooring in rooms such as your basement or rec room is the recommended way to go. Any room that sees lots of abuse would benefit from rubber flooring.

This type of flooring needs very little maintenance and can withstand just about anything. If it's an artistic look you are going for, take a look at ceramic tile. Ceramic tiles are typically used in the kitchen areas of the home. Many people will use ceramic tiles for shower walls, backsplashes and countertops as well as floors.

One other choice for floor covering is the popular laminate floors. Until recently it was only available in Europe. Laminates can be developed to mimic any floor covering including tile and hardwoods. These types of floors are easier to install, faster to install, more durable and easier to clean than your average floor coverings. Are you remodeling by yourself you might want to try laminates.

Another very popular floor covering is laminates. This type of flooring has only recently become popular in the US it was first popular in Europe. This type of flooring can be made to look just like hardwoods among others. These types of floors are easier to install, faster to install, more durable and easier to clean than your average floor coverings. Laminate is a good idea especially if you are going to try to do your home's remodel all by yourself.

It can be challenging to think of new flooring options. Figuring out the look and feel you are after takes some research. Be sure to choose a flooring option that works with ;your lifestyle and your ambitions for your home. The more restrictions you put on your goals for your flooring, such as being environmentally friendly, the fewer choices you will have. If you're on a limited budget then you will be limited to other choices. Make sure to know what you can afford at the beginning of your remodeling project.
