have a thin layer of warm, clear water and perhaps ontop of a layer of sand or moss.the feeling of walking in water on soft sand or soft moss all day would be great on bare feet and vary theriputic and relaxing. the water would have to be put throw a filter and heated but this would get rid of alot of dust and sweeping floors. having a moss base would need a much more filtration becuase of organic material breaking off and floating around and insects that would undoubtenly start living in the moss.the water could be lit up with lights that would go around the intire perimater of the pool and depending on what type of lights, help to heat the water. you would have to wear flood pants or shorts all the time or just roll pant legs up. The entrace of your house would have a bathroom tile or fine cement cast (like at swimming pools) to store your shoes as you switch from the concrete wourld to the aquatic one. stairs would also have to be a bathroom tile or fine cement cast too and would be water free to stop slipping unless you wanted to take the risk and have a waterfall. (apoligize for any spelling mistakes, it's genetic :P)

Trench foot, anyone?

dustmonkey, Apr 24 2003

Nice (apart from the Trench foot). Stairs should be included, with water cascading down them from the floor above.

walk with fish.

initially I disliked this because of the whole athletes foot thing and the fact that it would be horrible in winter with all those icebergs and vacuuming would be a pain but its growing on me somewhat.

Little cleaner wrasses could pick the diseased flesh from between your toes.

Problem solved.

I'm just worried about the leeches in a freshwater floor, And the amazing slip hazard. I'd have to change legs as well as shoes when I got home.

This is fine in its whimsy, but I used to have a basement recording / rehearsal / arts studio that would tend to flood and it was terrible. Armed with mops, wet-vacs and de-humidifiers, we waged a ceaseless battle with mildew and mold. It was exhasting and uncomfortable.

I guess I'm not approaching the idea in the right spirit, though.

It sounds like a guaranteed distater to have ceramic tile on stairs, because of the whole wet-foot-slipping thing. However, if you had concrete like the bottom of a pool is made of, or carpet, or astroturf, you could have water running down the stairs like salmon spawning steps.

The dog would absolutely love it. The cat, not so much.

Amos Kito, Apr 24 2003

Fuck this. I hate water.

I very much like this idea. Sand though... no moss thanks.

Always remember to stand on a chair while plugging in your iron.
