Getting rid of carpets is almost a requirement to live in a house for us . We put in hardwood with a nail gun, bought from a local guy who mills his own and tongue-and-grooves it right there. We got maple in varying widths- I love how it looks down, but I have to say, there is a lot less sorting and sifting and placing if you get all the same widths.
SO's office just got their carpets ripped up and they put down bamboo. It is very good looking and supposed to hold up well. We may consider that for the upstairs (which at the moment is plywood subflooring).
