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
and I'd like to be in front of the trend:-)


Rip it up.

Bare floorboards with a rectangle of carpet that stops short of all
sides by 6-12" and does not go into the alcoves.

The boards are either dry and bare, or varnished.


Which is what we had back in the 50s and 60s.
