wife of wants to tear out the carpet and replace with hardwood.
Last house was all hardwood. I hate hardwood in living areas. Have tile in the bathrooms and hardwood in the kitchen now.
With two kids it's a lot louder. Sucks to get down on the floor and play with the kids.
Will probably end up replacing carpet in the front sitting room and formal dining room since it's that old polyester sandpaper carpet.
Would much rather have carpet.

nasty feet.
And you're wallowing around on it playing with your kids who are little petri dishes all on their own.
You're nasty.

throw a freaking towel on that spill and it's gone
sweep up the crumbs from idiot kids putting more food on the floor than their mouths.
I'm a hybrid like dguar, everything downstairs is hardwood except tile bathrooms
upstairs is not used near as much and is still old carpet with brass knobs and #####. we are letting the kids grow up and ruin that carpet before replacing.

Maybe it's just light colored grout I hate, impossible to keep clean. My sister has ceramic hardwoods that I doubt she's cleaned in a year and they still look new.

at least on main level....
I've got carpet upstairs (for now), and it disgusts me. Might as well go ahead and put brass doorknobs and 24" TV's up there to complete the whole vibe
Also have carpet in finished basement (for now)...this disgusts me less, because finished basement

Go wif the fake hardwood if you have kids.

We got some fake Brazilian Cherry wide plank boards and they lasted awesomely. Granted, they cost as much or more than some real hardwood flooring. Parents always had real hardwood floors and they looked like crap after a few years in heavy traffic areas.
