I've been considering getting new flooring for my bedroom for quite some time, so tonight I pulled up a section of the carpet to see what was there. I was expecting particleboard, which is the subflooring for the living room and dining room.

Imagine my shock when I saw *hardwood* staring at me. I have no idea what condition it's in, but hardwood!

Guess who's going to be pulling up the carpet at some point this fall/winter and removing the tack strips?

Nice! Hardwood is pretty restorable, even if it's not in the best shape! Good luck!

Why do I have a feeling this other discovery is not related to flooring? You are such a tease!

Second on the tease comment. ;)

Great to hear that you have hardwood. There is a tool that you will find very helpful for taking up the firring strips. It's called a tack puller. Any decent hardware or Home Depot or Lowe's has them. Example:

If you pick a date, we might even be willing to help. :)
