I just had to burn up an hour solo. Pooping was not only a very important part of the day, but it bought me at least 5 minutes.
My best friend's childhood home had a fully carpeted bathroom, making them weirdos. O always took great care to get my pee in the toilet and make sure to try not to drip on it after a shower. Still my best friend, though.
One of my childhood friends had a carpeted kitchen, something I haven’t seen since, and a spectacularly bad idea.
I refused to tour a house for sale because it had white carpet. My rationale, and literally what I said to myself out loud was: "I ain't clean enough for that shit. At all."
We plan to eventually rip it out but yeah, white carpet sucks. A good carpet cleaner was the first purchase and we cleaned them all really well before our household items and furniture arrived. I have to clean them all the time or we look fucking grungy, no matter how clean everything else is.
A good portion of our house has very light carpet. I love it. I'll love it even more when the teenager who refuses to take his shoes off moves out.
I prefer hardwood, a good fake wood/lvp, or tile, with area rugs in choice locations. I wouldn't mind keeping carpet in the bedrooms only. Carpet in the high traffic areas is so hard to keep clean.
We have brick floors in the house with a clear coat over them. That shit is 100% bomb proof. Carpet in the bedroom, real wood floors in the office. I don’t love everything about the house, but the floors are legit.
Yes, it really is. I would have preferred real wood or bamboo, but it wasn't affordable for us at the time. We did the whole downstairs with mannington pro lvp and it looks nice and is very easy to keep clean. I picked a fairly natural looking medium brown pattern so you really can't see much dirt on it at all.
And unfortunately ours was so completely fucked when we pulled up the carpeting for a look we re-carpeted most of the downstairs. Our bedroom is the exception, and the contractor didn’t dare sand it any more so we finished it, old stains and all. Not terrible, but not what we wanted through the whole house. Now that our sons are grown and going off to college I’ve been painting the interior of the house, which makes the carpet look shitty. *Sigh.. a good steam cleaning will help, I hope.
My in-laws had a carpeted bathroom for a while. They had a matching carpeted toilet seat cover. It was bizarre and all I could ever think about was the decades of splashed urine and poop spray that must saturate the carpet. Synthetic hardwood flooring is so damn easy to install yourself, and a lot of it looks so good now, that I would happily buy a house with shit flooring. When we bought our first house, the builder asked what we wanted for flooring - carpet was included, everything else was an upcharge. I just had them install carpet everywhere, then installed new flooring in the non-bedrooms myself the first weekend we took ownership of the house. Cost me 1/10th what the builder would have charged, and if you're not a total idiot you can do it easily with very few tools.
Got my food prep for tomorrow: -Gatorade -White grape juice -Chicken broth -Beef broth -Jello -Dulcolax -Miralax Fuck getting old.
Mine is on Tues! Hooray for butt cameras. I'm using ClenPiq instead of the lax. We'll see if it was worth the money.
