Shut up Meg posted:Switching to hardwood, I often moan that I'm having to sweep the floors every few days - they seem to get dirtier much faster than carpets. Two words: robot vacuum We run ours daily (on hardwood) for about an hour, and the floors always look great.

I've literally never looked at a carpeted floor and thought "Wow this place looks classy/nice/expensive". Carpet is gross and has no advantages over hardwood that couldn't be solved with a rug/slippers.

TheMadMilkman posted:It's even simpler then that. They didn't want to look poor. Buying a tract home post-WW2 and not installing wall-to-wall carpeting immediately implied that you were a not middle class. I agree with that, different pages of the same book, it's kinda the same point I was going for, what we think of as a high quality floor was the mandated minimum quality so anything above that has a higher perceived value. I was told it was created otherwise developers would sell dirt floors but probably it would just be pine or cedar and it would wear down. You lead me into reading the history of the carpet industry and it went gangbusters in the late 50s with the invention of the right synthetic fibers. Like, 6 million yards in 1951 to 113 million in 1960.

When I was a kid, my uncle's house had carpet in the bathroom and linoleum in the kitchen. My grandpa's house had carpet in the kitchen and linoleum in the bathroom.

What an intriguing mix of the cool (the whiteboard), the obviously fake (the bench) and the loving useless (the pen and the clothes cleaner) E: I am in two minds about the kid's choking thingy. Obviously keeping kids alive is a good thing, but if they swallow toys so often that you have to purchase a device to solve the issue, maybe they aren't destined for great things anyway.

The bench was an ~art project~ but I swear it's also real somewhere else but good luck finding pictures that aren't of the art installation.

Growing up, my cousin's house had carpet in their bathroom... Except it wasn't just on the floor.. it was also halfway up the wall. Carpet wainscoting basically. And it was vomit green. It was terrible.

While house shopping ten years ago we looked at an exceedingly well built house in a nice neighborhood that had carpet EVERYWHERE. And by everywhere I mean not only wall to wall in every room including the orange kitchen and lime green bathrooms, but it was even on the ceiling in several rooms. Bedrooms and living room had these large, like 2'x6' wood framed panels of carpet up on the ceilings. Also the owner was murdered by her adult son inside the home. Our asking-price offer was not accepted, and we decided not to get in a bidding war over the carpet murder house.

Driven insane by the wall carpet mold. I like low pile, thick padded carpet in a bedroom, it's just quieter. Get a carpet steamer, run it over the high traffic areas once a month, takes like 15 minutes.

I subscribe to a bunch of channels that are basically just expensive versions of "As Seen On TV!" for cashed up idiots. Guarantees at least a couple minutes of enterntainment as I jump through the video.

I haven't seen those gallon jugs of Wilcoxsons in YEARS. Mostly because I moved from Montana a decade ago and don't know anyone who eats ice cream by the bucket. Edit: Minor kitchen issues I hate, ranked.

Burt Sexual posted:Why the Braille on the cabinet? Purple and pink siding is the best thing about it tbh     lol they clearly had to rip out the carpet in the bathroom due to water damage  but it does come with a matching 3-car garage  The house was built in 1930 so at least there's hardwood floors preserved under all that carpet. Too bad about the rest of the 60s "remodel". Youth Decay fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Aug 16, 2019 |
