Kim, If it could wait till after we close and I have MONEY again, I'd be VERY interested in Gossamer Webs! Noreen

You got it. I'm in no rush to get rid of them; I just want to get rid of them. Right now they're in a stack by my desk here and are out of the way. I'll set aside Gossamer Webs for you.

Hie thee to thy local janitor supply store and buy either an 18" or a

24" dry mop with removable cotton cover. I bought my 18" one well over twenty years ago (I have always had hardwood floors, no matter where we lived) and I recently retired one of the two original covers and bought a new one. Why two covers? So you have one to use while the other is drying after you washed it. You may also want to try "dust mop oil", but I have never found it that wonderful.

I have a smallish dust mop that I bought years ago that was fine for the small tile entryway, but we did close to 900 square feet in wood; the house is 1638 square feet total, and the rooms we didn't do are the bedrooms - carpet in there is still fine as it doesn't get much traffic, and the stuff in the kids' rooms has been under a protective layer of stuff for years - and the kitchen, which will be done in tile when we decide to do the kitchen. I had forgotten just how big my family and living rooms are, as I had way more furniture and stuff in them before. I do want to get a larger dust mop anyway, just need to get over to Home Depot to get it.

I still want to get a new vacuum to keep the existing carpets in decent-enough shape to keep for another few years, and if said vacuum can do wood floors it's even better

Do you want cash, ersatz cash, or are you open to swaps? Any way you slice it I'd like to dibs this is no one else has.

I'm jealous of your new floors! Stained concrete is low-maintenance but nothing beats hardwood for underfoot feel :D

I'm open to swaps, so whatever you feel it's worth, bring it on! The book is set aside for you.

This stuff is pretty low maintenance. Just have to dust mop or sweep to keep it looking nice, and wipe up spills as soon as they're noticed.

I've never had hardwood floors anywhere, but I've always loved the look and feel of them. I first wanted to do the Pergo thing, but further investigation led to the conclusion that the extra cost of the wood would be well worth it. Also, if we did Pergo we likely would have done it ourselves, and we'd still be working on laying the floor now; the installers had it all done, start to finish, in less than 3 days. The wood gives the place a nicer feeling, too.

Oh, pooh. Family reunion meant I missed out on two really good lace books.

Email away this morning!

Anastasia, Please feel free to make a bid on the one I put in for, I've told Kim to go ahead and take other offers, as I really have NO money right now. Hugs, Noreen

I hope you sent it to the addy in my sig, 'cause my "reply to" one hasn't been valid for years. I haven't gotten anything from you in email yet...

Well, somebody named Kim Greenfield is wondering who I am and WTF I'm doing emailing her :D

Lemme try again, maybe I'll get it right this time :D
