Cynthia, You have a good point.? I am from MN as well and that would not be an option for me if I still lived there.? You would need to put snowmobile boots on just to get out of bed in the am.? But, for areas that have a warmer climate, I can totally see it.? Every surface shows hair.? But, tile and concrete seem the easiest to clean.? My Dad, still in MN?has hardwood floors.? Not as bad in the winter and still easy to clean.? It looks nice too and not so cold in the winter.??

Here in the mid-South it is quite common.? They typically etch and color them.? I almost bought a house with that.? I think that they would be easy to clean, but could show every single hair or dust.? Being from MN, I had never seen that before.? Obviously concrete floors would be VERY cold on the tootsies up in the north country.? Cynthia grnram415@xxxxxxx wrote: Cyndy, I haven't seen one in person.? But, this seems to be a new trend in minimalism.? There are a slew of homes being built in downtown L.A. and the beach cities with concrete floors.? Some of the pics look like they forgot the tile or something, LOL!? Some add color to the concrete and look kind of cool.? I bet it would be great for keeping toenails short :-) Laura -----Original Message----- From: cyndy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx Cc: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sat, 21 Jul 2007 8:45 am Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Concrete floors in your home? I looked at a house yesterday with concrete floors. Has anyone seen this? Itseems ideal for dogs, but wondering if anyone has experience.Thanks,Cyndy ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
