We're doing the same thing.. Was yours glued AND nailed down? We have over 330 sq feet of similar wood to remove. I'd love it you could msg me and we could chat?

Air Compressor + Pneumatic Chisel FTW. Not a fan of back breaking work, myself.. ;)

[darrenism]

Us either. We were trying to save the "professional" installers some time. They finished up the removal and put down the new floor for us.

Welp there goes a couple grand worth of pine floor.

if had a floor scraper it would be way much easier

[GoldenRohde]

well that gives me hope.. since ours isn't glued down.. I hope ours comes up easier!!! I don't want to pay someone $1300 to remove it!

It pains me to watch this. I would go to great lengths to save a floor like that and would have been happy to replace the carpet with a close match of the part you're tearing up. To each his own, I guess.

There has to be a better way right?  I have about 1000 SqFt I am about to replace this weekend in a rental.
