Yep, our house is mainly floorboards too... it's just the bedrooms and the lounge. I also don't re-hire grumpy/rude people a second time no matter how good they do the job.

I'm so glad we don't have stairs to do. Once when we lived in a townhouse with stairs it cost us about $400 to have the whole house done... although i did ask for scotchguarding... but I remember it was the stairs that were the killer!
