We have been working on our hallway for a while. Getting ready to put a new floor in tomorrow.
Our house is 159 years old, we found 4 layers of old vinyl flooring under the carpet.

  • duct tape and bailer twine, every man knows you need that in every tool box you own,lol. if you cant fix it with duct tape then it can't be fixed, every jack of all trade knows that, "im just joking" dont mind me.

  • lol but theres one more thing drywall screws! you can do almost anything with them

  • its not vinyl its linoleum which is a linseed oil product made with wood flour or cork dust on a canvas or burlap backing ,it used to be very popular before mineral oil based products like vinyl .

    they started making it in the 1860s and you do get some great patterns , its very durable .

    my house is just victorian my sisters house is 17th century my mothers old house was really old and a hang out for pirates and in the family for several hundred years back to the 16th century

  • When we worked on our house (built I think, 1941)... I salvaged bits of walpaper and linoleum and cut them to fit small photo frames and hung on tha wall for art.

    I love your house by the way :) Thinking about the history of it, I have a big enameled pot that was made in England in the 1800's and now here it is in central Texas still being used!

  • looks good for being free free shit is the best

  • lol, a man after my own heart. i was waiting to see if you would say that, dry wall screws and ring shank nails, i wish i had the patent on those, then i would be saying what recession, lol.

    sorry i could'nt resist that one, and oh one thing more Elmer's glue it may not fix everything, but it never hurts to try :)

  • i like standard grey myself
