Most people’s first apartments had floors lined with raw oatmeal, a repurposed Twister mat for a bed, and a shower head that intermittently drizzled viscous, jet-black fluid and liquid police sirens. Now that you have the pad of your dreams, pick up some pad padding with today's Groupon: for $100, you get $250 worth of flooring from Coastal Wood Flooring & Supplies, located in Sun Valley.

Coastal Wood Flooring & Supplies clothes bashful floors in a wide variety of modest wood and laminate frocks. Disguise trapdoor entrances to secret science labs with solid walnut planks ($3.99/sq. ft.) and prevent an army of mini Frankensteins from escaping. Or, opt for a more stable engineered wood, a sturdy lumber sandwich of a hardwood exterior and a hardwood, plywood, or HDF core that stabilizes without sacrificing aesthetics. Engineered distressed wide plank flooring for ($2.99 sq. ft.) adds drama to boring rooms and passageways, much like the alien invasion in the second act adds drama to Romeo and Juliet.

Curious customers can visit Coastal Wood Flooring & Supplies' site to check its hardwood’s Janka rating, an indicator of hardness that can predict how well floor coverings will withstand sneaker scuffs and broadsword thrusts. Although not included in this Groupon, the store also outfits do-it-yourselfers with tools and accessories to get jobs done, helping to install stair treads, moldings, and lifelike Bob Villa statues.
