 Well after the collapse of the Market this year ; my whole retirement  went
out the window  when I decided  to follow it in an inebriated state of
despair.
 However the window chosen for  this emergency was on the first floor of my
tin roof  Creole cottage and all  that I managed to  hit was the dogs bowl
and chicken pen  which stirred up the rooster and the pot bellied pig who
live under the house  that  set the dogs to braying at 3 am .
This did not sit well with my wife who was awoken by the rumpus; and quick
witted as she is decided to  hose me off from the respectable mantle of
feathers and chicken shit that adorned my posterior; thus allowing me to
quickly grasp reality and see the error of my ways by passing the remainder
of the night on the porch hammock.

It was within this "vision quest" that I decided to put more attention into
the 1950 Spartan Royal mansion (aluminum mobile home) currently under
renovation; I say renovation as Im not interested in  its  interior
restoration;
my approach is minimalist;  solar - high / low tech
I am looking at cork floors; I am also looking at bamboo floors ; I worry
about longevity and humidity ....any pin heads with experience and knowledge
about such  floors?  .. perhaps another wood suitable for such thin tile like
 applications.
