Suggestions for what? Replacing the wood floor? Or ideas to
prevent the problems you cite, leaving the floor there? If
it was me and the floor was in good condition, I'd just enjoy
it and look at the positives. Like everything, there are
tradeoffs.

Hey, if there is a way to waterproof it I would be interested
to hear. We thought it was a bit odd to have a wooden kitchen
floor and I have had a few puddles that did soak in a bit.

A few coats of polyurethane usually works.

Yeah, thats what I did with some raw edges of chip board
which have laminate on the work surfaces, up against the
wall where they might get some spilled water at times.
Works well, you never get any of the swelling you normally
get with chip board that gets wet.
