David - Thanks! Appreciate that you even drew out the plan. :) You are absolutely right, it's been difficult finding an optimum layout. In fact, our current layout is more or less the same as your plan. Would you have chosen different furniture - a smaller sofa or a different dining table perhaps? (Also, I'm curious: is there a good reason why the architect had the pillar like that?) Mona - Do you mean having a buffet at the entry? I currently do have a sideboard, though it wouldn't fit at the entry - it's about 67" wide by 18" deep. It's currently placed in the middle of the long wall. There's actually still sufficient clearance between it and the 3-seater sofa in David's plan. plague - The household shelter is a local (Singapore) building requirement. Its walls are reinforced and is meant to be a shelter in times of emergency. It can't be removed, and any renovations carried out cannot affect its integrity (there is a list of permitted and prohibited works). Normally it is just used as a pantry or storeroom.

Hi everyone, My basement got some water after the recent storms in our area. We had vinyl planks flooring and had to pull all of it out, damaging most of it in the process. We are certainly not looking into putting flooring down again, and we are considering epoxy flooring. I want to ask here your opinions, experience, and pros and cons of polished concrete floors Atlanta. Ideally, we would prefer to do it ourselves as the cost to hire out appears to be astronomical. We saw a company called Everlast Epoxy and wonder if anyone here knows about them and their product. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions.

Was it like this in the beginning or after installation? This could be the dirt trapped in between the spaces before the top protective layer was placed, or it could be that the top layer has worn out and is now just on its base layer.

The 4 Criteria | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring While every pet has its quirks. There are some good general rules that you can consider when choosing a floor. Keeping in mind the comfortability of your pet while ensuring it to last a long time. Scratch Resistance | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring Skittering claws and rough-housing will scuff up your floors really quickly without a high level of scratch resistance. Stain/Chemical Resistance | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring Toilet-trained cats and dogs are great. They rarely have accidents when going number one or two. However, on the occasion that they do, you’d want a stain-resistant floor that cleans up well. Not forgetting a chemical-resistant floor that will tolerate cleansers. Spilled food or drool are also potential hazards. Slip Resistance | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring Recall having nightmares where you’re trying to run but you just don’t move? Don’t subject your fur babies to the same horror! A floor that provides good traction allows your pet to move with more comfort and safely land from higher surfaces. Conclusion | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring Reviewing our choices, your best bet for a pet-friendly flooring is indisputably Metallic Epoxy. However, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, vinyl and linoleum are cheap to install. But before heading further, do note that they are less durable than Metallic Epoxy. This in turn may cause inconvenience and eventually being much more costly due to the constant replacement.
