My experience is that when it gets wet (and if you are renting to college kids, it WILL get wet) it expands and separates.

The lot was located on a sometimes-wet creek, setting it up for a great urban-infill project in the future.

Laminate gets wet, delaminates and buckles...

Dawn dishwashing liquid does a great job in a wet cleaner.  

Probably not an issue if you're in the wet parts of Oregon.In our area, every drop of water belongs to someone.

Question for all of you regarding what I should do for flooring in a house I am rehabbing for a rental, and targetting the middle to upper middle class of renter.There is a hallway that connects the entrance hall, three bedrooms, the living room and kitchen, and I am having trouble trying to decide what type of flooring to put here, as I want to install something resiliant to wear and water, but will transition nicely (looks) to hardwood, carpet, and tile.Bedrooms will likely be carpet.Kitchen and bathroom will be tileliving room has hardwood that will be refinished.My first thought is that I would use tile for the hallway - the same tile as the kitchen and bathroom.Pros- will tie everything together, and I think it will look nice- will hold up to getting wet by the front door (from snow on boots etc)Cons- it will be heavy on the existing structure (it would probably be fine)- it is cold and hard to walk onThen I thought of laminatePros- quick and easy install- cheaper than tileCons- may not hold up to getting wet by the front door (snowy boots)There is carpet, but I don't think I want carpet by the front door, or in a high traffic area.Then there is vinyl flooring, which would be good for the water and traffic, but doesn't look as nice as tile or laminate (my opinion anyway)Any thoughts?

That said, I have to get my feet wet somehow and start developing relationships with others in the business.

It was also good to use those people who call in to "make mistakes", or get your feet wet.

I also think it has something to do with the tenants getting out of the shower soaking wet and not drying the floor, but I cant prove it.

But most of the posters here that I have noticed are giving specific examples for others to follow without expecting them to pay anything for any video.I do believe that you could give specific advice without giving away your system and thereby also wetting the appetite of a lot of us to check things out further.I hope this did not come across as any type of attack at all, but just the way things seemed to come across to me as mostly an outsider.
