Dirt. Mostly. I think there’s hardwood under there, but I’m in no mood to find out right now.

Luxury vinyl plank. It was there when I moved in. Nothing beats ceramic tile though.

I assume the structural “flooring” is OSB or similar particle board.

Blood-stained tatami mat isn’t an option.

Concrete covered by engineered wood of some sort, so I put laminate. We have a few rugs.

It’s laminate over real wood that I installed myself :sweat_smile:

Wood, and it is all face nailed with cut nails so when I wanted to refinish it I got several rejections from professionals because of the nails. Then my neighbor who did a lot of contracting work for me had his flooring guy visiting and he said there is no way it can’t be sanded, he looked and then said “I was wrong, this has to be either removed or done by hand” It took a month of nights and weekends and a whole lot of sandpaper, but I am really happy with the result.

There are around 750 cut nails in the living room and dining room floor and before I applied the finish I put bluing on every single one so they would not rust. It took about 5 minutes to do and it was a really nice touch that makes those nails really look good.

I actually have 2 ‘main living rooms’. The front one I call ‘the parlor’, originally had hardwood, but a previous owner had a shower stall overflow which went unnoticed for a while - so when I pulled up the carpet in there a few years ago, I discovered hardwood but also plywood.

Once the carpet was removed, the new flooring was laid - I think, engineered hardwood… I’m not sure what you’d call it. Something along those lines.

The other ‘main living room’ is an add-on at the back of the house - added on by a previous owner and much larger than the parlor, and where the TV is, etc. That room still has carpet. That’ll be the next flooring I replace - with new carpet.

The entire first floor is oak. The small room over the garage is carpet over pine.

Our main floor is all open.. living room, dining room, and kitchen all run together. The house was built in 2006, and we bought it in 2012. The living room had crappy low-pile carpet that was pretty beat up from old owners/tenants.. and the dining room & kitchen had actual linoleum. I thought they stopped putting that in new home builds back in the 80s.

Anyway, we ripped it all out and replaced the entire floor with laminate from Costco. It’s so much better now.
