James and I got a little bit ambitious tonight and decided to start another chunk of ripping up the flooring in the living room. I'm very pleased at the condition the hardwood is in. (softwood actually-it's pine) However, we did find something not good by the front entrance way. It was once used as the only entrance before the addition was added. As we ripped up the carpet, we noticed it was all moulded and rotted. We stopped before we got to rip up that piece of plywood to see how the flooring under that is. Probably rotted too I would think, but it's really no big deal I guess because we are tiling around there anyway. It would be nice to have a few extra lengths of the flooring to use it there is another area that needs special attention. We shall see though. Anyway, here's some pics of what we accomplished tonight.



Plywood that is under the tile that was under the carpet.

The beautiful tile that is under the carpet glued sooo badly onto the plywood.

The paper stuff that is protecting the hardwood underneath the plywood.

The hardwood underneath the paper stuff.



The rotted area by the front door :S


The subfloor underneath the hardwood thats underneath the plywood.

Looks alright eh?!

I love that pine! Your stories about renovating bring back memories. We did a lot of work on our first house and found both nice and not-so-nice surprises, just like you!

Impressive! Can I hire you guys to come finish my condo! Sorry to hear about the mold however now you will enjoy the renovations all the more! Maybe you can take the renovations on your income tax as removing the mold is a health benefit!
