- tossAfterUsing 6y agoPine floors are terrible to maintain though. 'cut off your nose to spite the king'
- Bishop_ 6y agoPeople have done worse for less, a specific parallel to current events should come to mind. In any case i'll remove pine floors from my diy tiny house project checklist.
- tossAfterUsing 6y agoimo, as a builder of one, tiny house has such a low squarefootage that you can spring for high quality materials without breaking the bank. it's easy enough to find 200sqft (that's a 20' cargo container's worth) of high quality unmatched leftover flooring from a sale.
- gruez 6y ago>Pine floors are terrible to maintain though. Why? Is it the sap?
- dirtyoldmick 6y agoThey are soft and get dents and such pretty easily.
- LgWoodenBadger 6y agoPine is a very soft wood. Some you can dent with a pencil. Our dining table was like that when I was a kid. You could see all sorts of writing in it from too much pencil pressure when doing homework.
