I'll admit it, I'm an addict. I need a twelve step program for craigslist. Today I came across about five hundred square feet of old mill oak flooring for free. The boards are anywhere from ten feet to two feet long three and a half inches wide and three quarters thick. The only way to get the finish that's on the boards is a hundred years of history. They aren't tongue and grove except for the ends which was hand done, so they are basically like one by fours.
It's going to be a lot of work, but it will be worth it in the end. I'm pulling the nails through to the back side with a pair of ten-r vice grips It seems the be quicker and it leaves less damage on the finished side of the wood. The more I work on it the more ideas I have for it. First will be the work slash cutting table for the wife, but now I must get back to work.
