Finished pulling up the old floors yesterday. Wow! Did not expect it to be that much work. Underneath floor #1, the forest-green tile Pam mentioned in her post, was floor #2, a white linoleum that was much nicer than the tile.
I thought I would be done after the linoleum, but no such luck. In addition to a layer of particle board underneath both the tile and linoleum layers, there was an extra layer of particle board underneath…for good measure (floor #3).
What made the last two layers a real “adventure” was that the person using the staple gun wanted to make the edges of the sheets of particle board look like they were sewn down with a sewing machine. And in case the millions of staples weren’t enough, a few nails were thrown in along the way.
The floors are now out, but we have a few hours of pulling nails and staples before we can put a new subfloor down.
Windows are being installed on Friday.
Great way to create and relieve anger.
