Pulling up my carpet to have a look at what the state of the boards is today, to hopefully sand and oil. I immediately find myself out of my depth. The hearth is in place from the old fireplace. What are my options for removing this, and placing some reclaimed boards over the top. It sounds pretty hollow underneath, but I don't want to knock it out and bring the chimney stack down on my head....
