It was a 1920's foresquare with tons of oak woodwork. The entry was covered by old red and black square linoleum tiles. We hired a contractor to remove it and restore all the floors in the house. I don't know how he did it but he had all the tr off in about 2 hours. The oak was not even discolored by the tar seeping into it.Mr. Flanneryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607383880009874741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700391697727952012.post-38449848694544292792011-11-16T18:39:14.610-06:002011-11-16T18:39:14.610-06:00I tried for a whole darn summer to scrape that cra...I tried for a whole darn summer to scrape that crap off my hardwood floor hallway and stairs that had been covered with red carpet. After using gallons of stipper and countless other tools I gave up and sanded it down as best I could. Put a thick layer of oil based paint on the stairs and re-carpeted the the upper and lower hallway in a more desirable color. This is one of several infractions my MIL did to this century old farmhouse during the 1970's-when it wasn't cool to have an old house.Karennoreply@blogger.com
