Floors

Mr Grumpy and myself have a wet dream.... One floor througout the whole mainfloor of our house. Our house is narrow, long and tall. We have a basement, loft and three apartments. We live in two and let out one.
Our floors today is a little bouqet of materials- all from different decades....

Our most beautiful floor is the one in our living room. It is the original wooden floor and I will hate to see it go.... Sadly we have no choice since it practically cracks up. It squeaks, it leans heavily in every direction, nails constantly pop out and there is a always a risk of splinters in our feet. We could of course just put a new floor on top of the old but Mr Grumpy has raised his voice loud and clear: "We need to ISOLATE mrs Grumpy. You will not get your new floor if I can not get my isolation!!" So old floors and that clay/ sand they isolated houses with a 100 years ago needs to go.
End of discussion.

As I have told you before we are soon finished with a long and hard (a clichè but true) renovation period now. We plan a sabbatical year this year and then we will see if time, energy and finances allows us to go forward with our floor dream....

Our dream floor will need a post of its own so I`ll get back to you on that matter!

Here are pictures from our current floors (and this is only in one of our apartments...)

The old beatiful floor- over a 100 years old

Kitchen floor from the 80s

Staircase with two different kinds of flooring.
awful but will stay like this for a long time...

TV- room floor from the 60s, also leaning heavily and
there is  a hole in it that we cover up with a thick rug

Any flooring dreams out there??
