AuntyM,

I'm not going to be living in the basement. It's just there because I built on a hillside, and it seemed like the right thing to do; plus it should be good for resale with the extra bedrooms, bath, big family or rec. room, etc. The basement has radiant heat in the concrete floor, so it's warm. Just need something to cover it up.

I have oak flooring on the main floor. It has a good feel. I should try and post some more recent pictures.
