I have a friend here at work who came to me for advice for a floor for her enclosed porch today. Here is her situation:

Enclosed porch, unheated/no ac, has just a bare sub-floor right now.

She wants to know if tongue and groove pine is a poor choice for flooring. She only wants to paint it - no special fancy finish. She's just going for a "country farmhouse" feel.

I told her that pine was of course soft and as long as she doesn't mind the upkeep, it should be fine for porch floor like she wants.

I knew that my fellow Creekers would be able to shed some light in any dark corners that I may have missed.

Any advice on this?

Thanks a lot!
