Just dropped an 1ltr bottle of isopropyl alcohol onto the parquet Floor in the kitchen. It promptly melted all the varnish off the floor.

missus is still in bed. Do i just pack my bags and leave now?

If left in a puddle it evaporates fairly slowly.

It's not real parquet though? it's tiles that look like it?

shouldn't real parquet all be seamless not tile shaped or it defeats the point surely?

no its real wood parquet. But its laid in squares.

its this stuff.

who ever mentioned that it would just accelerate her plans to replace the floor was completly right tho as all ive heard all day is “i didnt like that floor anyway” and “lets just replace the whole thing now”
