When we bought the house we knew there were hardwood floors underneath the carpet. I'm an optimist, so I assumed they would be in good condition. In hindsight this was probably naive. But we were lucky.
The good news . . . the floors didn't have any water damage or stains. The bad news . . .the carpet had been in place for over 40 years, and in some spots the underlay was completely stuck on.
There were also a lot of staples to be removed. (My lovely sister helped us with the job.)
But by the end of Day 1 we had already checked one thing off the list. This was going to be easier than we thought.
