I have put on a coat of sealer and then 2 coats of water based varathane and whenever the dog comes to a skidding stop his nails plow through my varathane. I know I know get rid of the dog.( Well he almost blew away during the night, but he has gotten so fat that even 70 mile an hour wind fail to lift him any appreciable distance). We are preparing to get out the big guns ie the oil based varathanes but thought that I would see if there was a reason not to. I realize too late the error of my ways, that the floor was a mistake. My other big error was to use white kitchen tiles with white grout. I cannot tell a lie I was warned by everyone not to do this, but I saw a picture in a Martha Stewart magazine....but since Martha does not live here, the grout looks a little yellow already .

I wish I did know about them. I have wistful pie-in-the-sky fantasies of one day doing somethingto our snug little love shack. However that takes money, more even than I've charitably pumped into distressed tech equities this past year. (You'd think at least that they [as defined by Mel's character in in Conspiracy Theory] would send us a plaque or something!) Our kitchen floor in particular is ... delaminating, is I think the polite euphemism for it. I have no clue what to replace it with. I want something that takes NO scuffs when the Thundering Family Unit scampers across it wearing really marginalfootwear, the kind you might find blister-packed between the table saws and the planers. But then, I also want something so giving, so compliant... that a dropped Waterford won't send a percentage of its value skittering jaggedly under the frij. Then there's the Entryway Project. I'm thinking rubberized granite...
