For what we paid to redo our floors, that doesn't sound too bad, cost-wise. Bit cold in winter, I'd suspect. |

I glue pennies to the ground at WalMart. I don't call myself an artist. |

I wish someone would allow me to be the artist I am. Money is the key. Fund Indubitably. There is no fund I know of in existence. *sigh* Tusen takk |

titwrench: RexTalionis: What a waste of $2500 bucks. Cheaper than tile And longer lasting, and if you break a tile, you have to hunt for a matching one. If you pop a penny off the floor, well the repair part is in your left pocket. Although I can't understand why they wouldn't find a way to make them all shiny before they glued them down.... |

Am I seriously the ONLY person that read that as penises? |

AbbeySomeone: Man hours? Subby is a sexist pig. Not really. English lacks a neuter gender, and current accepted grammar rules specify the use of the masculine when gender is undetermined, ambiguous, or plural. /also, Oxford commas rock! |

It should be said that the floor will be quite the conductor of electricity and will need to be sealed. |

RexTalionis: What a waste of $2500 bucks. Did you not read that part, or do you see buying tile as a waste of money as well? |

Saw it on DIY network over a year ago. Still pretty cool though. /also makes a pretty sweet bar top. |

Amos Quito: AbbeySomeone: Man hours? Subby is a sexist pig. Indeed. What about woman-hours? That's 800 in woman-hours |

fustanella: For what we paid to redo our floors, that doesn't sound too bad, cost-wise. Bit cold in winter, I'd suspect. That's what I was thinking. If the floor was resin-coated after the pennies were stuck down then it would probably look pretty cool and as one piece, would be very easy to clean. No grout to get dirty, no wood to absorb spilled liquids. |

Wow, how innovative and unique. This was a manhattan. |

Fark Rye For Many Whores: NSFWish. Congratulations breaking the Fark TOS and contributing NOT A FARKING THING to the discussion. On another note, were they ass pennies? (not a rickroll, I'm not a farking dick like that) |

| jayhawk88 So did they have to snip/cut each penny to some kind of hexagon or octagon shape to get them to fit right? Cause if not, that's going to be a pretty nasty-looking floor in short order as grime gets into the gaps between coins. |

| Zelron
So now the floor is a big metal plate good for electrocuting people if it ever gets energized. I hope they grounded it. |
