Pulling up carpets!

I'm working a bit backwards here but I just got this blog up so it's time to play catchup. Like I said in the last post, we had to pull up all carpets in the house because we knew there were original red oak floors lying beneath. What we didn't know was how good of shape they were in. The previous owner had a cat and the house smelled like urine which is a bad sign for wood floors.


To our surprise the floors actually looked really good as they were. It looks like it was probably the original finish from when the house was made back in 1964! There were a few scratches and a couple places that needed some patching but nothing too major.



Next, the fun process of finding someone to refinish our floors!
