He did not get that in the house he bought... It was tough to find in his price range in the area he wanted. He's an architect.

I wonder what kind of condition the real wood floors were in... putting Pergo over wood does sound like an "idiot" move. I sold a brick house where they've covered the brick fireplace with slate tile, they thought the brick was too informal. I love the people and it is their house but I bet someday someone will be taking the slate off the brick. I wondered how it is adhered. They also altered another fireplace in the house but I can't even talk about that. An agent in my office who I snuck in to see the house while these people were in contract goes into depression at the thought of that fireplace modification. I guess it all keeps the remodelers busy. Putting slate on, taking slate off, stuccoing a fireplace, chiseling stucco off a fireplace (I wonder how you would remove the stucco. Stucco on your brick fireplace sounds "WRONG." My first house the red brick fireplace was painted white. There's a really cute house locally that I see a lot ( I went by it two three times on Sunday where the chimney on the front exterior of the house was painted black. Why???? Why??? WHY????
