I picked solid wood over engineered for my new floors and everyone said I was wrong
They told me engineered was more stable and easier to install. I got 3/4 inch oak planks and did a full sand and finish myself. It took a full weekend but the feel underfoot is totally different. Anyone have tips for keeping the finish looking good with two big dogs?

My uncle's old farmhouse has original pine floors from the 1920s, full of dents and scratches. He always said those marks were just the house keeping its memories. With your dogs, maybe just plan on that kind of honest wear.

Actually pine is a soft wood, so it shows every little mark. Hardwood like oak holds up way better with dogs, even if it still gets some dents over time. That farmhouse charm is nice, but you don't have to pick a floor that gets wrecked fast. Just get a tougher wood and let the real memories happen on top of it.
