    Flooring should be made from extraordinarily delicate and expensive materials.

      I only have a desk I built that's coated in resin but it's held up pretty well, there's one small chunk that got taken out of it but otherwise has remained intact.

    My brain had that mixed up with shellac for a second and I was horrified. My banjo is basically 1% bug after appropriately treating the pot and fretboard with it.

    NO MORE VINYL OR CARPET EITHER! HARDWOOD AND TILE FLOORING SHOULD BE MANDATORY! LET ME PICK MY OWN RUGS AND HAVE A FLOOR THAT IS POSSIBLE TO CLEAN!

        I have vinyl flooring in my place and hate it. It's stinky, picks up dents like crazy, isn't repairable, and gets weirdly sticky after washing or if it gets too humid which is basically always since I live in the Maritimes. The rest of the place is carpet that's probably older than I am, and it's unfixably gross.

        On the other hand, the hardwood parquet flooring in the downstairs of my parents' house is older than Canada and it looks brand new because it's been refinished and reassembled. The upstairs wood is from the 1950s and similarly looks great, without any painstaking effort.

        Simply don't get tenacious oils on it, be sure nobody ever walks on it with shoes without wiping off on an effective doormat first, and NEVER EVER LOOK IN THE CRACKS

          idk i dont have these issues. there barely are any cracks in mine, it's very snug, and it cleans just fine. if you google "easiest type of floor to clean" literally every result says vinyl lol
