Georgia Pet Vet Picks Hickory Hardwood Floors for Second Home

South Georgia-based veterinarian Dave Richards has had an unlikely connection to Carlisle… for 36 years: Carlisle is his wife’s maiden name (no relation). Okay, maybe that’s a bit of a stretch for similarities here, but this coincidence struck a chord with him during the process of building his second home.

When approaching building a second home, Richards knew what he didn’t want from the beginning. "We went to some home shows, and looked at flooring in other people’s homes, and some of the wood looked artificial, even though it wasn’t! It was just the way it was finished…those standard skinny little boards. It just wasn’t our style." he said. "I said, ‘I want some wider boards. I want something that really looks like it came out of a tree!" which should come as no surprise coming from this self-proclaimed "tree hugger". After a quick Internet search for wide hardwood floors, the relationship with Carlisle Wide Plank Floors was born.
