Ok, finally can finish this thread off (since noone had any really useful comments on flooring) Local builder's hardware store recommended termite treated "structure floor" which is plywood, can be used bare (he'd used it bare before in a shop) and looks like cork when its coated. Grand total...

Much googling later, what do you guys think of something like Boral's Evolution Floorwood, just coated with polyurethane as a flooring option? Would look 'interesting' and be easier to work with than bamboo. Could do the entire house with it too, and not need to carpet the rooms that have baltic...

Floor quote came back as "rip the lot up and put in carpet" so no baltic floors for us. Apparently the house is "much cleaner" since the druggies moved out :) The kitchen was recommended to just repair the hole, put sheeting over the top so its flat and smooth and then put down vinyl. We're...

Ok, we've taken proper stock of the house, got measurements etc, when I've drawn up a floor plan I'll be taking photos and putting down a wiring plan - all easier for getting quotes. Quite striking how much smaller this house is than ours, I'm used to all rooms being well over 4m wide, suddenly...

Well I can safely say they aren't going to turn into cement floors overnight. Someone has done this to my PPoR in the past and they did an awful job. I'll get the tradie we usually use and a 'proper' floor polishing company out to have a looksee (which could take a while out here), and if...

The IP with the dodgy floors is in a town where one of the major industries is forestry - pinus radiata. I think that tells us what any floorboards I buy locally will be made from :)

I had an old house years ago with floors virtually identical to the ones in this house, the baltic in one room came up nice but one room was like parts of this house - trashed, had to be replaced. It had masonite in the bad room too. One room turned out to be jarrah under the paint ... lovely...

Been looking around at what flooring options there are here, its pretty limited, but I'm sure I could order something from elsewhere. I have a house with very damaged baltic floors. Some are worn so badly there are noticable dips in the floor (in doorways etc), others have no tongue and...
