Endorsed council drawings

Finally the updated plans with Condition 1 has been endorsed.  Only took 6 weeks. So slow.

Flooring

My house sprung another 4 leaks, which shorted out the power...just hoping my house lasts a couple more months...

So I've been looking into the flooring options, leaning towards the blackbutt look.

Solid wood flooring - expensive but quality, looks really good, but reluctant to go with it again due to water, scratching and fading issues
Engineered wood - cheaper than timber, but still has the same issues, may as well go with timber.  Also P&J have been having issues with theirs
Laminate - cheapest option, and nowadays looks pretty good, however still have the water issues
Vinyl hybrid - in the past, vinyl has looked bad, however the quality of it is much better nowadays.  Hybrid version means it can now be laid as planks.  Lots of pros including waterproof, very hard wearing. However it still has a different feel, slightly spongy, and the look is still different.
