Why on earth did your friend want real linoleum? I have lived in old houses with real linoleum. It does last a long time, but it looks terrible. (IMO)

Thanks for the info about engineered wood floors. For the home office, rather than new carpet, I will probably put down hardwood. Bruce has some solid wood that is 5/15 thick so it can be glued down but also can be refinished a couple of times, and I am researching that, and also the cork which Shootie recommended.

We are always very careful with our do-it-yourself jobs. I get books from the library and collect info from hardware stores and on-line, and really make a serious effort to learn how to do it right.

I will definitely let you know about the slate. It's a lot more common here in the Northeast than it is in Louisiana, where I am from. I think you lose the advantage of cheapness when you have to truck it a long way, because it's very heavy.

I still haven't made poached eggs since we talked about it.
