[Sep 14, 17:38]Moneypenny [e-mail] Wow, that looks surprisingly good for being under carpet for what I am assuming was quite a long time (especially the top picture).
[Sep 15, 07:48]carrie wow! That is going to really open up the room. beautiful!
[Sep 15, 10:56]Luke [e-mail] Yeah...I'd say it even looks a little better in person, as the flash seems to bring out some of the things you'd otherwise not notice.
Now I have to figure out the cost difference of having the floor refinished or doing it ourselves.
[Sep 16, 16:08]Rspaight Cool. The same thing happened in our last house -- except we had no idea there was hardwood under there. One of the cats had started picking at a corner of carpet that had come up, so I went to fix it, and... huh, that's not subfloor down there, is it?
A day of ripping and staple-pulling (and a very sore back) later, we had nice hardwood floors in a couple of rooms. A very pleasant surprise.
