a salvaged moment

Its easy to gloss over the smaller accomplishments when the whole project is so big, but I want this blog to be the best record possible.

As part of the rot repair 2 years ago, our dining room floor got ripped out rather rudely.

This is what it looked like when we moved in:

Conveniently, enough other parts of the floor were removed to piece back together this one lucky section. After painstakingly picking through the ripped up floorboards we had enough to refloor the dining room. Some are different thicknesses, all have different finishes, and the lengths are very random. Though this section might be a little odd compared to the 20ft lengths in the adjacent walkway, we feel it is the best way to keep the original materials in the house. Hopefully it will blend right in after a little sanding.
