I'm doing things backwards - But at least I'm doing things. I wrote before how I pulled up the carpet to reveal some crappy vinyl flooring and then again how I pulled up the vinyl flooring to reveal some old hardwoods.
I got a dude to come in and he said they could easily be re-finished and I gave him some money and he sanded 'em down and poly-coated them. I LOVE the result. I also discovered that the same hardwoods are directly under the carpet in the computer room, and probably under the cork that's under the carpet in the other rooms downstairs.
Nice wallpaper! Get a steamer, it'll help a lot with scraping it off (unless it's vinyl). The floor looks great!

Have you discovered the Feline Pine yet? changed my life . . .
I think you ought to quit while you're ahead.
The next room, where you peel back the flooring, might reveal a gate to Hell.
Dimitri told me he has been using one in that vicinity.

If I find the gate to hell, I can just putty over it or use wood filler and poly over that.
