Not too happy right now

I woke up so excited about picking out my options.  Somehow all that excitement has been replaced with frustration. The distressed floor that I want is "engineered" wood and can only be put in a house that is built on a slab. They offer no distressed uptowns in either hardwoods or laminate hardwoods for a crawl space. I can't settle on this. I know what I want and just hope that I dont have to get vinyl for now and pay someone to put hardwoods down. I might get a better deal that way but I wanted to keep this as simple as possible.
