Evidently the flooring contractor wasn’t happy at the prospect of installing new oak flooring directly over the old, so today they ripped up the old floor in our ex-sunroom. When it was installed, someone used a layer of newspapers between the new oak and the old pine, so we now know the year those floors were installed: 1935. Unfortunately the newspapers are too deteriorated to save, but we did take some pictures — click each for a full-size version. We’re paying a lot more than $199.50 for our fridge, but then again it’s much larger than 9 cubic feet.
