Thirty or forty years ago someone put oak strip flooring in most of the rooms at the Tower House, over the original floorboards. The floors were finished, but then some time in the past they were stripped and left unfinished - I have no idea why. Now the wood is discolored and has paint splotches from the last awful interior paint job the house received, as the first photo of the upstairs back hall shows.
I am taking up the oak in the downstairs rooms but we decided to leave it upstairs. A couple of weeks ago I sanded the bedroom floors. Now I have stained and shellacked the front bedroom floor - second photo. This work is tedious but I sure like the result.
