History Exposed

On the 1st floor in the rental space, there was plywood covering the east side of the floor.. This past weekend we became curious about what was below that plywood and what it’s going to take to restore the floors to their original luster. We know there are numerous footings that have failed along the wall and portions of the floor had been patched.The plywood was glued down and then nailed/stapled all over. We have never seen so many nails/staples in our life:)

We started with a small area and it actually came up pretty easy.

Since it was going so good we finished removing all of the plywood.

We were hoping to find something interesting under the floor like a chest of gold, silver, or at least an old bottle cap. no luck!!

This is what we found, lots of dirt, wood, and broken brick. Maybe we will get lucky when we start to remove the flooring to repair the footings.
