Cork Floors, Yes or No?
I have always believed that floors add character and warmth to a home. In today's world of floors, there are varied options to choose from. A unique and eco-friendly flooring option, cork has an exceptionally long lifespan. It reduces the risk of rot and mold and actually helps the quality of air indoors. It works well to neutralize temperature and absorb sound. Because cork flooring does not trap allergens, pet dander, or dust, it is also great for allergy sufferers. After reading several reviews and having used it at home for several years, I highly recommend this option for anyone interested in eco-friendly flooring. I can vouch for it!
However, there are some pitfalls that keep buyers from investing in cork flooring. For one, it is expensive! Cork comes from an evergreen tree called the cork oak. These trees are grown in the region around the Mediterranean Sea, and therefore, the cost of shipping bumps up the sticker price considerably. Secondly, unlike other floors that last almost a lifetime, cork floors last only five to ten years and have to be replaced more frequently. Dogs and high heels are a complete no-no around cork-floored areas. Paws and heels dig through the pliable surface, creating holes. In spite of its disadvantages, a large number of people today are turning towards this earth-friendly product.

[music within.] i hear him near. nurse! wife! what, no! what, nurse, i say! 30 re-enter nurse. go waken juliet, go and trim her up; i’ll go and chat with paris. hie, make haste, make haste; the bridegroom he is come already: make haste, i say. [exeunt.] 35 this scene is an example of dramatic irony used to create suspense since the audience knows that the musicians will not arrive on time. capulet approves of the match to paris. romeo is already married to juliet. the nurse will be unable to rouse juliet.
