I would do all in slate flagstone but it gets so cold on the feet, have in bathroom at camp. Used a good bit of wormy chestnut for floors at camp. Yeah, Bought 500 sf of finished maple t/g 3/4" a couple weeks ago if he wanted to do a room or two if he got the place. If not I would use on 2nd floor at camp. Hate carpet in the country, not so bad for a bedroom. Farm equipment and lots of wind north end of Pymy makes so much dust depending on wind direction plus all the grass cutting, bringing split wood & logs in. He has a nice fireplace in living room. Just going to save so much time and money that the house already has 'em.
Main change is it has water boiler heat through out the place. Not good for a getaway place. Did come with 250 gallons of fuel oil though so that will help on offsetting new furnace. Oh well getting way off fishing topic here even though it's going to become a fishing cabin.
Sorry
