Great post as always. I loved the one about waterproof flooring (great job Corinne). So much good info here.

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty I'm glad you liked it. It's hard to keep up with what's new in flooring. Vinyl plank has come a long way.

Hi Kathy,
Even when I think I've done a good job of scanning all the blog posts as they come in, you find some I miss. Is there a secret room I don't know about? 😂

Kathy Streib

Carol Williams the trick is to read the posts while you're watching football or basketball. The magic door opens.
