Explanation

After reading comments on yesterday's post, I realize I was not clear about the floor situation. 

The pictures I've been posting of the beautiful wood flooring were taken of the work Glen himself has done on the floors upstairs in the cabin. There are two bedrooms up there in which he has replaced the flooring and he has done a great job on them. 
As you have seen. 
The flooring with the issues is he downstairs floor which is concrete. When we bought the cabin, that floor was covered in very old, very nasty carpet and we have gone back and forth about what to replace that with. Ripping the carpet out was one of the first things Glen did to the house. 
We finally decided to go with a process to smooth and even out the concrete and finish it in a color (in our case, green) with a bit of grit in it to hopefully help prevent falls. Compared to other over-concrete flooring solutions it can be done quickly and relatively inexpensively. And one would hope, be fine as a floor. Rugs can be used, and so forth.

Something like tile but far easier to get done and far less expensive too. 

This is the floor that vastly disappointed Glen after its completion. 
And now we shall see if the business owner can come through with what he promised as to how the results should look because as of now, they do not.

Is that clearer? 

The upstairs floors are still beautiful. 
The downstairs floors are not. Never were, still aren't. 
Sigh.

    Your camera work has been terrific, by the way...

  2. Thanks! I was figuring Mr. Moon's floor standards were much higher than mine when I thought the problem was the wooden floors!

    1. Nah. The floors Glen did (and is doing) are fine.

  3. Thanks for the clarification because I couldn't figure out how anyone could be displeased with those beautiful floors that he sent pictures of. Concrete yes, that is a different story. I hope that they come up with something that you can live with.

    1. It's Glen that's going to have to live with them. I'm sure they won't be that offensive to me because the house is not as important to me as it is to him. Except that it IS important to him and that is where I see its value.

  4. I knew which floor you meant because the wood flooring looked perfect to me and I knew Glen was happy with it.
