Posted by Madman200 It's not so much that shirts are especially weak vs piercing, acid, disintegration, and fire when compared to other normal items and creatures. It's just that they're strong vs. blunt and cold and immune to psionic attacks and death magic. Hmm. Maybe I should play A Shirt during our next silly pencil and paper game... would probably work for Gamma World or something. Sounds like a winner. I could have lots of fun with the character description too. |

* Unstickies, since this thread has enough power to float on its own
The stickies should be used for important things or refrence lists only; discussion threads like this have enough power to float on their own (and can always be brought back up if discussion dies down) We had way too many stickies before, and even I tend to ignore them automatically, since they're usually unchanging. Having them with the rest of the forums gives more screen space to the real threads as well as allowing other threads to overtake this. (My opinion on stickied threads has changed for most forums here) ____________________ I dealt with it. |

What kind of stats would I be allowed on A Shirt? I guess the str would have to be about nil and the con would be low too.
Would A Shirt be required to have 3s in str, con, and dex? |

I HAS A FLOOR
Translation: the renovation took all week. It's done now. y goodbai thar pink wall to wall carpet and icky bathroom vinyl. y helo thar tiled foyer (sandy-looking squares), tiled bathroom (white octagons and black square dots), and solid hickory over everything else but the kitchen (still vinyl but in good condition, so I didn't feel like having it redone yet). We also have much of our stuff in boxes in the living room, and we're reorganizing and getting rid of old things we never use. It feels sort of like we just moved into the house. Pictures will be up in the near future. |

Your house is about the same size as mine.  Our place is a ranch house built in 1965. The main floor is around 1200 square feet, and there's an unfinished basement. I like the size because it's more than adequate for two adults and two cats, there's less to clean and maintain, and each of us has our own space. Mine is the second bedroom. Ogre's is a corner of the basement.
Do you have any pictures of the renovations? It sounds like you guys have done some nifty work. We've been paying people to do our improvements for us because the results and the savings in time and aggravation were well worth the cost of labor, but I would like to try my hand at replacing our crusty baseboard molding. Various friends have assured me that it's an easy DIY project. |

I dislike lamination. I prefer good, soft carpeting.

In my view, hardwood + area rugs = best of both worlds.
With proper maintenance, good quality hardwood will last the lifetime of the house. Most woods go with a wide variety of color and design schemes because their color is some variant of brown. (Hickory, which is what we installed, variegates from light to dark. I see some pinkish and silvery tones in some boards, but overall, it is neutral.) I think wood is way easier to keep clean than wall to wall carpet. Pet and people hair doesn't get ground into hardwood, and spills are handled with paper towels. No matter how diligent I was about applying carpet cleaner right after something spilled, I still had ghosts of coffee and animal hwarf that required professional cleaning. Plus, vacuuming an entire house annoys me for various reasons (noisy, smells like burning dust, I have to keep cutting my hair out of the beater bar). I'd much rather use a nice quiet broom or Swiffer. Area rugs provide the comfy softness of carpet in strategic locations while being easy to maintain. The ones I'm looking at are much squishier and softer than most wall to wall carpet, and they come in interesting colors and patterns. We can swap them out if we want to change the design scheme of the room, and we can also send them out for professional cleaning if necessary. And they're small enough that vacuuming them won't be a giant pain in my ass. |

I don't like hardwood flooring myself, I've always preferred either laminate or carpeting  |

I like smooth floors. Like hardwood or marble. So I can clean the floor and go "surfing".

Posted by DoritokillerYou had click-together flooring, correct? That's far more DIY-friendly than glue-down or nail-down (which is what we have). I know someone who did a great job with his own nail-down floors, but he already has construction experience and access to the required equipment. For us, it would have been like trying to build a full set of kitchen cabinets before learning how to build a birdhouse. The previous owner put in some awful homebaked construction (a fugly built-in entertainment center that we ripped out and had replaced with drywall) and I didn't think our house could use any more ill-conceived DIY "improvements".  |

I prefer carpeted floors myself. Prevents walking on cold hard floors in the winter and it just feels better underfoot to me.
One thing I learned though is that you really shouldn't swing a golf club on a carpeted floor, as you'll eventually take a divot out of it.

Posted by Ninetales Same here. I never wear socks around the house unless I'm going somewhere. It would suck if I walked barefooted on those hard floors.  |

My feet get cold in the winter much sooner than any other part of my body, so I usually wear socks then, but in summer I'm generally sockless. I go without shoes indoors year-round, even at school sometimes. Especially when I wear my winter boots to school as they're extremely uncomfortable to sit around in. |

Most of the time when I'm at home, I'm either in socks or barefoot |

Flip-flops with socks? Wow.
I've worn sandals with socks back in middle school, because the school policy was that you always needed to wear socks even with sandals. (You also coudn't wear shorts until May, even if it was sweltering in April.) |
