As a particulair case study, the kitchen in my home has no flooring (except some plywood)
In the construction industry, the plywood is known as "subflooring". I know about sub-flooring. I have installed sub-flooring and flooring before.
I purchased some boxes of fake marble tiles a long time ago. The unopened boxes of fake tiles have been sitting in my living room for weeks; completely untouched.
In the short-run, I hate installing flooring.
In the long-run, I would like my kitchen to have flooring.
