Under Foot

In order to access the condition and repair the old wood floors we had to uncover them. This meant rolling up the area rugs and, pulling up carpet, and linoleum.


In the West bedroom, there was a layer of stick-on linoleum squares around the perimeter, a mid-century era layer of linoleum with a wood-look, and then the earliest covering was a burlap type material painted mustard yellow. Here is Betina using a spatula for a tool.


Here you see some insect damage and the area that was replaced with plywood after water damage.


It was very exciting to uncover the original plank pine floors, layed with square blacksmith nails!
