Now you've got me thinking about that Chas.
Let's discuss safe and easy ways to remove old 6" asphalt floor tiles without scraping or scratching the underlying flooring. What was the common adhesive when they became in style? These I guess were put down in the early 50's. Thank the Lord that our house escaped asbestos exterior siding. (Our next door "twin" had that exterior overlay. Looks sorta crummy after 50 years)
And what would the natural color or tone of 1886 "Florida" pine be? Any ideas?
Even if it were painted, it might be nice to strip and restore to it's natural tone.
