As we've already mentioned, we spent some time pulling up old carpet to reveal the original hardwoods. We've received a bid on refinishing the 3 rooms (plus a hallway and stairs) that were previously carpeted. It's a no-brainer as an old-house-preservationist, right? You gotta pull up the carpet.
Well, we are not just stopping at carpet. Last weekend, we decided that the kitchen--which features a nice-enough ceramic tile--just doesn't look right in the context of the rest of the house. Sure enough, there is hardwood located underneath the ceramic tile, which is enough to warrant a death sentence for the tile. It's all coming up this weekend, provided we can figure out how to get it done.
Same goes for the laminate flooring in the downstairs bathroom--it's coming up this weekend, too. After our weekend demolition, we should be down to hardwoods throughout the whole house, except for the back-porch-turned-laundry-room and the upstairs bathroom.
The good news is that last time we pulled up flooring, we found 12 cents, and this priceless artifact:
I can't be sure what this means, but I strongly suspect foul play. In the conservatory. By Professor Plum.
