1879 floors. Help.
https://imgur.com/a/sM2d5LE I have a very old historic house in New England. It is “cottage” style in an urban area. I last sanded and stained the floors about 10 years ago. I’m not sure how much life this floor has in it ( it’s the original with square nails). They are getting a little thin. I bought this place when I was 25 and I’m ready to move out of the city for a quieter life. I’m planning to rent this place out. I have no idea what to do about this floor and I’d like to preserve the floor. I’m afraid renters might destroy what is left of it. Can I install vinyl flooring without wrecking what’s underneath? Just really looking for some suggestions. Thanks. submitted by /u/Candy_Warhol99 [link] [comments]
