Re: Hardwood flooring

[epetrevich@relavis.com]

Mark, what was the cost per square foot?  I'm looking to do my Guest House
but I don't want to spend a small fortune.  (And I'm not going to put
linoleum over the entire surface)

The cheapest I've found so far is about $2./square ft.  (not installed)

Inch

I don't know what you mean by 'synthetic hardwood' but we used some
engineered
hardwood flooring when we redid our kitchen.  It is three plies: the top is
'pretty' wood (ours is machiche, a farmed central american hardwood), and
the
bottom two are just strong wood.  Our came prefinished so we were able to
shave
almost a week off of the project by avoiding the sanding and finishing
steps
(sorry, pun intended).

We got it from ecotimber in Berkeley, CA.  They have a very good website
with
lots of info and fairly accurate images.    www.ecotimber.com

If you were asking about pergo or similar: I have no clue.
