The first attempt at floorboard repair has been tackled and completed with amazing success and resulted in another cool find. With the help of M & D the rectangle of black stuff was prised and drilled of the floor and it turned out to be an old enamel sign which followed the mainly financial theme of posters found under the carpet.
Even after a clean up the sign is pretty badly damaged from having been very thoroughly nailed to the floor. It seems a shame to have used it to cover what was a pretty minor little hole. The cracked enamel around the nail holes actually make it look like it has been shot up. I think this is going to be the last find in the house, there is not much more to rip up.We patched the floor with an old Baltic pine floor found in a friends backyard and when the damaged board was cut out it was the first time there has been a chance to look under the house. To my huge relief everything looked good! Lots of space, no water, no animals (so I have no idea what makes the scratchy noise at night) and no weird smells.
