Our new home, 30 years ago had all carpet and 10 years later we replace
with
expensive carpet. 14 years later replaced with all tile. Tile is
sooooooooooooooooo much easier to maintain and clean and does not stink.

It's also cold, hard, and much more dangerous. Fall on the carpet and
you get a bump. Fall on tile and you can break bones or crack skulls
and die much more easily. If you go barefoot, it's hard on the feet as
well as being very cold (unless you spend $10k on radiant flooring.)

Methinks we're a full 180 apart on this one.

Cold? We have a difficult time getting cold here in El Paso. We *Love*
cold.

It's not as easy to trip and fall on tile as it is on carpet. G

Barefoot. Ah........the coolness of a tile floor. .........exhilarating.
But Mama don't allow no bare feet here.

Methinks you're right.
