Hello everyone!
We are building a small cabin in Eden Roc, and we are looking at flooring ideas. We found a good source for eucalyptus planks, and like the idea of locally grown wood and all that jazz, and think it will look great. But I'm concerned about termites (naturally) though I know it has a little bit of natural defense, I am curious about less-toxic treatments we could use on the wood.
Tile seems like the 'obvious' choice- easy, economical,simple to care for. But...I don't like the way it looks/feels, and know I will have to treat the subfloor (wooden) anyways.
Thoughts?
