Hardwood Concern

[RoadKingMoe]

The real trick is to evacuate before the escape routes turn into unmoving parking lots. Many areas have buses to shelters for the infirm, indigent, and others who can't drive. Many campgrounds have reinforced the bath houses to serve as storm shelters. You pack in there like sardines with all the perfume-wearing strangers if you haven't made it to a local shelter such as a high school gym. Hurricanes spawn tornados and an RV is the last place you want to be in one.

The following is a direct quote taken from this website:
Why Cork Flooring

Durabilty—Would it surprise you to know that the original cork floor in Chicago's First Congregationalist Church has been in place for over 100 years? It's too old to be one of ours, but you get the idea: cork provides an extremely strong, long-lasting surface. And unlike other flooring materials, cork develops a fine patina with age—its natural beauty actually improves with time!

While I may have overstated their case as far as the longevity, it was made with good intention and, from memory..lol

The Mayo clinic in Rochester has decades-old cork floors that stand the foot and wheeled traffic just fine.

Cork is great underfoot. It has enough give as to not be tiring to stand for hours and it is not cold to bare feet. I put cork in all but the bedroom area of my International and really liked it.

I'm sold. I looked on Google and there is a "green" company that is selling cork and I'm going with that. I was also interested in the rolls of cork that can be used to insulate walls or even line the walls. maybe in the bedroom but too dark in the living area. I thought that might make a good insulation for acoustic and heat. I also checked out the KOA's on the FLA keys and THAT is where I'm going. I live for snorkeling. It's the fastest way for me to get better. I cant tell you how much more positive I feel about the trailer. I need coral reefs.

If you want a real rush, look at the recycled glass tile made in CA. incredible jewels- the color changes with the angle of light. these arent the plain squares- when you get to the knock your eye out colors, you'll know you are there. silver suz

Lowe's has a hardwood floor that is very thin and only wood (oak in several colors) one kind is called ecofloors. These glue or lock to gether with the tongue and groove. Just no backing and very light weight. silver suz
