Isnt that great congratulations Its alot of fun restoring these old houses.Dont forget to leave a surprise for next person.I did.

Oh, we're leaving lots of fun stuff, mostly written on the walls behind the cabinets.

Why aren't the links coming up? This is the second time I've had the problem of putting a link in a post and losing it.

Let's try again.

Here is a link that might be useful: The newly discovered oak floor, free again 80 years later.

That's great! Congrats!

we've discovered almost the same! we pulled up an edge of old lino (on all the floors) and underneath was the original tongue & groove wide plank floors. the lino wasn't glued down just tacked in a few places. the boards have all been painted, but no glue. In the living room we lifted the area rug - there were the boards, they only laid 1 1/2 foot strips of lino around the edges of the rug!!!

We have a 1920's English Tudor - we had linoleum in the kitchen and underneath was original maple floors.

I hope you had that linoleum checked for asbestos before you pulled it out. We had to get an abatement crew in.
