In this pictue you can see a seem where there used to be an inset front porch that was re configured in the 1940's to be part of the interior. We chose not to try to repair this by staggering the seam...again it adds character and reminds you of all the changes the house has gone through over the years - and it was cheaper not to fix it!! This floor has had one sanding - the seam will disappear a little with more sanding. We will also have area rugs and furniture on top of it.
