Hi,
Really pushing for some help here - pulled back my carpet the other day and found a really nice herring-bone pattern wooden floor underneath it! Anyway, I've scrapped the old carpet now and am living with the lovely feel of wooden tiles, but there is a problem I have...
Some of the tiles (mainly where a fireplace once was) are either water-damaged or have been removed entirely...the thing is, I don't know what sort of wood the tiles are or what 'standard measurement' they conform to [I'm guessing they're imperial, as they've probably been there for a god while...].
I've attached pictures of the tiles for your view (sorry about the dirt on it - I'm redecorating and it has years of grime on...[is the wood cherry?]), and the rough measurements I've just taken give 3"x12" - does this sound about right? Also - any tips for a strategy on clearing away what could be 50 years of carpet-underlay grime and giving it a nice waxed finish?
Thanks - all help very much appreciated!
***I wasn't sure how to upload, so I sent it to 'yousendit' - I hope that this is okay...if I've not done the right thing then please advise me on how to change it...
