Boy it's been a while since I've caught up on this thread! That floor looks great, kudapucat! Reminds me a lot of something they do here for high-traffic areas, called Terrazzo, you can choose your aggregate colour and all that, but it's an epoxy base rather than concrete and you don't smooth it to bury the aggregate like when you pour concrete, which I presume makes for easier griding... And wow, you like doubled the size of your house, that's awesome.
Gntlknight, my first comment was going to be, "Get your swords off the sofa, were you raised by barbarians?" but now I see they're properly hung on the wall. Got a chuckle out of your computer screen showing Dragon Age too. One of these days when I have a house I can truly modify without angering the Great Condo Gods, I want to do something like that with the walls...
I do maintenance for a company that owns a bunch of old houses in downtown Ottawa that have been modified into either office space or apartments, and some of the basements are the original brick foundations... soooo nifty. I think I need a man-cave too. Except mine will have a sewing corner where I can actually use the antique machine.
