The original floor...Hi SMU, thanks for the comment.<br />The original floors in the house are redwood and were never meant to be seen. When the home was built the floors were wall to wall carpeting. Hand made carpets covered everything. As such, the wood under them was not considered important. A large majority of the redwood floor is flat grain, as opposed to strong vertical grain, and continues to flake off. The condition of the redwood is so poor that no amount of sanding would allow them to be pretty or ever hold up under daily use, unless you were into the "Shabby Chic" look, which we are not. Thanks for reading!! and I hope you have time to go back to the beginning of the blog and read all of the posts. I try to keep them entertaining.<br />MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01366367907162865688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096549572698747220.post-30385827917911871352010-05-10T11:14:01.385-07:002010-05-10T11:14:01.385-07:00I just found your blog and this is probably a stup...I just found your blog and this is probably a stupid question, but what's wrong with the original floorSMU Cox MBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136676427177140970noreply@blogger.com
