Front Entry, Before & After
FRONT ENTRY, NOTICE EXISTING HOLE (LOWER RIGHT) THAT WAS DISCOVERED AFTER EXISTING FLOORING WAS REMOVED.
CLEAR EPOXY TO FILL CAVITIES LEFT FROM INSECT DAMAGE AND NAIL HOLES. CLEAR EPOXY LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER THAN BLOBS OF WOOD FILLER. EPOXY YET TO BE SANDED FLAT.
FLORAL INLAYS, USED IN PART TO HIDE A SIGNIFICANT HOLE IN THE FLOOR.
Fir floor circa 1930, found under many layers of existing flooring which consisted of glue down parquet, linoleum with sub-floor, carpet. there were numerous holes and places that needed repairs. Hence the flowers in the front entry to hide a large hole. In one picture there is a new board that was inserted in the floor between the two rooms to hide were a wall was. The hallway had to be replaced, but the new material was installed with gaps between the boards so it would have similiar overall look.
