Like how to ruin paneled doors by covering them in hardboard. ;O)


It's called 'fashion' and people act like sheep. It happens all the time.


What comes after engineered wood floor? Possible house rebuild next year

Bare floorboards with a rectangle of carpet that stops short of all

The boards are either dry and bare, or varnished.
