How would you have designed your home differently? I don't think I'd change anything. My home was built in 1900, has 2 stories, a walk-up attic, and full basement. The workmanship is suburb. Previously, my husband and I built 2 new homes. We never really liked either one of them.
What types of flooring do you like least and best and why? I love my original hard wood floors and they are in most rooms. I use wood cleaner and non-slip wax on the main living areas, 2-3 times/year. My work takes me in and out of homes (new and old) almost every day, and the craze is LVP flooring (luxury vinyl plank). I had that installed in my bathrooms, and I like it. I really hate carpeting and only have that in one bedroom. That's got to go....Soon!
Could you move your sofa or fridge without help? Yes. It's on rollers and I can scoot it over to clean. It's due for that now!
What would you like strong men with a truck to come and carry away from your home? All the stuff in the basement that I've accumulated over the past 43 years in this house.
What would you like them to bring? Their muscles and good attitudes.
How would you have designed your home differently? .......I designed my home the way I wanted

Could you move your sofa or fridge without help? ......I have moved my furniture myself while cleaning and my refrigerator is easy to pull out and push back.House cleaning and moving furniture is definitely a great free workout!
What would you like strong men with a truck to come and carry away from your home? ..........It would be my last move with my entire belongings from my house
What would you like them to bring?........Courtesy, punctuality,good communication skills, professional in their trade and be precise
My home is definitely not contemporary or 'whats in style'. Its my style.
I love wood flooring but we have vinyl wood flooring, good thing, easy maintenance.
I could move my furniture without help but lifting or loading, nope.
Happy Thursday everyone~~~
Subbing for bjh. Thanks for subbing
How would you have designed your home differently? Bedrooms on ground floor, also, either no living room or smaller one. Living rooms and formal dining rooms are underused. This may be the topic for a new thread.
What types of flooring do you like least and best and why? Carpet best, easy to clean by vacuuming. Hardwood least. Though pretty it's noisy.
Could you move your sofa or fridge without help? Yes

How would you have designed your home differently? The house itself is great, but I would have had a 4 car garage rather than just two.
What types of flooring do you like least and best and why? It depends on the room. I prefer carpet in the bedroom, hardwood in the living room and dining room, and luxury vinyl in the kitchen. Of course the HGTV designers would be shocked to see so may different kids of flooring in one house. Carpet feels good on the bare feet, hardwood is elegant, and luxury vinyl is forgiving and easy to clean.
Could you move your sofa or fridge without help? I do it all the time.
What would you like strong men with a truck to come and carry away from your home? Too late now, I already took a sectional sofa to the dump, with just my wife helping get it into the truck.
What would you like them to bring? Again, too late. We recently brought in a 65" TV, a new vanity, 6 boxes of ceramic tile, and a new toilet.
Glass block windows in rooms such as the laundry room or bathroom to let a little light in
More grab bars in case they are needed in the future
No carpeting
How would you have designed your home differently? 9’ ceilings, wider hallways, get rid of the corner fireplace that makes it hard to arrange furniture, raise all counters for tall people.
What types of flooring do you like least and best and why? Old wood floors, tile, I’m might try LVT in my bedroom.
Could you move your sofa or fridge without help? Right now, no, but normally, yes.
What would you like strong men with a truck to come and carry away from your home? A kitchen island that is sitting in our garage, because son and DIL want it. The thing weighs a ton and their house is in Puerto Rico, so who knows when it will get shipped.
What would you like them to bring? Don’t need anything, but if they brought me new living room furniture, I’d like that.
I can move my refrigerator to clean behind it. Same with the sofa, although it is very heavy. No way could I load them onto a truck.
My house is on a hill. It would have made an excellent split level. My ceilings are too high.
I prefer real hardwood. Tile can be lovely, really depends on the house.
There is some farm equipment in the barn that I would like some big strong men to take away. They could bring a new TV. I am planning on replacing mine.
