And here's our cedar fence (or vice versa)

Gidget: here's photos of our floor, but you can't see the subtleties...

Very nice fence - what a precious play house!! Whoever that's for is very lucky!!

I can't seem to find the THX button - sometimes I see it and sometimes it doesn't appear. Is there a trick to it??

THX!!!

Concrete on 1st and 2nd floor. We're big fans since we have a dog. No maintenance but a little wet mop or wet Swiffer every once in a while. Ours is brown color and we live in a loft (not in Sowal). As a side note you will want rugs and a gel mat at the Kitchen sink

First off, CUTE pup!!! I also have a dog - hence looking for LOW maintenance!

How do you have concrete on 2nd floor?? Did you have acid stain or another procedure?

Thanks for the help!

Interesting thread Gidget....I wish I had something to build so I could put in concrete floors. I love them. I recently visited some friends who were staying on the beach and their concrete floors had a blue-ish green stain and was gorgeous. Good luck, sounds like you're getting a lot of help and having fun too!

In the SoWal "Lounge" there isn't a "THX" button....but I believe all the other forums have the thanks button, which is on the far right side at the bottom of the post.

You can give a "Green Rep" which is at the top right hand side of the post next to the number. It has a yellow star....and when you click on that you can write that person a note if you agree or like what they have posted. This also gives you points which add those little green chicklets at the top of your post. Hope that helps a lil' bit!

There is no thanks button in the lounge. We all thank eachother publicly here.....

PS...this thread is making me want to build a house and have concrete floors!!! I have always loved concrete floors! I also love concrete countertops!

I was looking at those, too! My old house would look silly with granite countertops, so I have said that I was going to put in stainless steel--not the HGTV kind that scratch so badly, but the industrial kitchen kind. Now I'm thinking concrete...

Well that 'splains about the THX button -I thought I was going crazy looking for that button!! I appreciate the info! (now if I could just get my profile background..... :roll

I think it will be concrete floors - even though acid stain is gorgeous which is evident from the pics on this thread, I am still VERY interested in the integrated dye that is troweled in when the slab is poured and then stamped and then sealed. Totally different. Anyone see or have that type?

All comments and suggestions welcome. This house is fun designing it ourselves. My dh designed our last one 20 yrs ago on a napkin eating lunch ;-) We've come a long way since then - what with computer drawings, etc...We ain't pros either - it changes daily - but it will be uniquely ours. I say "ours" - truly it will be parts of everyone who chimes in! COOL!!!

Just think one day you'll be driving down 30A and you'll see this ICF poling out of Blue Gulf neighborhood and you can say THAT'S GIDGET'S HOUSE! Be sure and wave
