laminate i meant :P

of course tile would be the most indistructable - i see the arguments - the money just snt their right now . so i think im going all vinyle tile in the tw o bath .

i thought about tile - but if this dowsnt work out down the road , i would remodel again and do everything different - i dont want to make the investment of all tile - 

I need to replace the floors on my house i'm planning on tile in the bathrooms and laminate wood every place but two rooms and the stairs which will be carpet . The house is two story with two kitchens 4 rooms a great room &1 3/4 bath. The location is about 5 blocks from a university so i'm thinking of renting out to students - or perhaps the school itself , they have bought up as much property as they can already. Sorry got to rambling - to the point - should i go all laminate ? I'm just seeing carpet ruined in  a few years  with renting - would with renting experience come to the same conclusion.

Over the hoiday the supllu line to my lavatory in the top floor blew from high pressure? So water was all over the house - took down most of the ceilings , everyroom was soaked. So INS sent their people in who took out all the floors - first floor was real wood slates, about 90% of the ceilng 5-6 plaster walss 5-6 drywall walls . OH , and all the tile in the two bathrooms!. SO now i have a shell of a house  - its been demoes and dryed out-  I know  a few guys in the trade who are not working who are going to board it for me. After water damage like that be a good idea to have an electrician look at it before the walls go back up - this house is plumbed with two kichens one up and down blocks from a college so i dont know if i should rent or sell - or convert it to a duplex. but structuraly what steps would you take
