How cool, Judy! We ripped up our living room carpeting yrs ago, as had covered the hardwood floors underneath when the kid's were babies. My hardwood floors are a little more work than the newer versions, but they are so beautiful, as they are the original floors and require a finish to keep them from looking dull. But, I love them and just dust mop every few days. Mine aren't slippery, but you have to be careful what you put on the dustmop, as some products can make them slick.
Also, my allergies improved some w/the carpet out. My bedrooms are hardwood too.

It is a pain to have workers in and out; we did some remodeling a few yrs ago, but the finished product is so worth it. Hang in there; in a few wks you'll be grinning from ear to ear.
