spent a lot of money on flooring, reclaimed teak

[scaredyclassic]

from VINTAGE TIMBERWORKS in rainbow. just incredibly staggeringly expensive.

nice though. wife likes it

I guess i can afford it.

seems like i should get a house for this price …

does it really increase the,selling price?

doubtful…

was fun to tear out the carpet. did it myself. satisfying.

I bought three pieces of wood from that place and it was around a grand in total.

They were big pieces, barn timbers, but still.

A whole floor? Wow.

wow, that is so “luxury”, something you would put in a historic house.

I wonder what my old growth redwood possible teardown house is worth in scrap?

During renovation I saved every bit I removed. Termite and rot damage free unlike the wood used in later renovations. Lots of 4x4s that are actually 4″ not 3.5 like new ones. The roof has dozens of long 2x4s too.

now i dont want to put any furniture on it, covers up my big money per square foot floor.

we need smaller beds too, so more floor is exposed.

wife disagrees.

[FlyerInHi]

did you hire an interior designer? avoid too much “heavy” wood furniture.

Actually the new restoration hardware look is much better than in years past. I’m guessing that’s the style of you house.

Vintage Timberworks is great. We used their hand hewn barn beams in our recent build. Pictures are on their site and ours http://www.sommerdesignrsf.com. We went for a lighter feel, but wanted the authenticity. Visitors enjoy hearing about the history of the beams.

Ya. Wachout for “reclaimed” wood.

Used wood at new prices.

[scaredyclassic]

i like my floor. not worth the money, but.

nice

[scaredyclassic]

i feel personally almost nothing is worth the money.

except cal state.

but most other puchsses feel not worth it.

except also:

groceries.
my old car.
day care.
netflix.
my house, i guess.
pentel p207 mech. pencils
toilet paper
used bicycles.
olukai flipflops.
alcohol.
certain books.
a wool watch cap.

thats all i can think of off the top of my head.

Scaredy stop being a tease, what was the price per sq foot installed?

[scaredyclassic]

about $23

Not bad. I think most people spend 1/2 that on their wood; but you have luxury reclaimed wood. I’m sure you were told it will last forever. I think reclaimed wood wears nicely and looks great even with modern furniture. The new shiny wood shows all the scratches and don’t wear well.

I wanted smooth terrazzo floor but I had to compromise for tile because of cost.

[scaredyclassic]

the throbbing pain of payment is starting to recede.

Haha, I don’t mind spending money on real estate. Buying a car is the most painful for me.
