Sometimes you have to go backwards in order to go forward. I've spent the last few weeks tearing down interior walls that were not needed and carefully removing the beautiful heart-pine tongue-and-groove flooring on the second floor. Why, you might ask? I decided to remove the floor so that I could glue & screw down some t-n-g plywood subflooring, and I needed to take the walls down so that I could add a couple bathrooms and a third bedroom (originally, the house had 2 bedrooms upstairs and the only evidence of a bathroom was the clawfoot tub that was sitting in a bedroom floor). The subfloor will add strength and reduce house noise (if it won't, then please don't tell me now...I'm too far along to turn back).
The picture above shows what the upstairs looked like before I bought the house. The picture below shows what it looks like now. It's nice to see a change...even if it's backwards. :)
