What do you think of this stone floor?
Certainly it’s very attractive.
But would it be too “textured” for your daily use?

I once encountered a woman who told me her tale of woe, how she was living in her new home and that a gap had appeared between two of her floorboards (about an eighth of inch). She told me of her frustration that her builder had not come back to repair or replace the flooring in that room because of this issue. She was pondering suing the builder and asked my opinion. My only response for her was to be thankful that only one board had such a small gap in her house, that her house contained thousand of pieces of wood whose behavior was beyond the control of the man who installed them.

It’s issues like this why so many good builders close their doors.
