We has a
large old farmhouse in Kentucky, and when we moved back to Maine we wanted to
pare down. We bought a small post and
beam camp in the rural western Maine mountains.
The camp was
sitting on two huge spruce logs directly on the ground. We had the house jacked up and a concrete pad
with a two foot crawl space poured.
There was an
8x14 porch on the back of the house and because porch weather is short in Maine
we closed it in to add an additional room.
Part of the room I patrician for an extra closet for my wife. We laid linoleum on the floor as the room
makes an ideal entrance during snowy weather.
Now fifteen years later we were tired of looking at the linoleum pattern
and decided on a new floor.
We wanted
something that looked good, something that was water resistant – and though we
preferred real wood that wouldn’t work well when snow comes.
We settled
on allure Resilient floating flooring in a wood grain, which is water resistant
and guaranteed for 25 years.
The floor
took me one day to lay and my wife and I are pleased with the results. Winter will be the proof of the pudding.
Of course, I knocked down one of the wall sconce lights when I took off the closet doors - so another trip to Home Depot for a new lamp is in order.
