People used to come over (back when having people visit was A Thing) and comment on how nice the green stained foorboards were. I didn't mind them and would have kept them but for the pretty advanced splits and loose/otherwise damaged boards meant that realistically a DIY repair was beyond my capabilities. Repair was also too much hassle for joiners, so new boards it is. I have visions that the new flat waxed floor will have me gliding silently from one side to the other in my socks. Unrealistic I know but it will be so nice not to see all the bodged cut boards from historic access under the floor for plumbing and cable installation (think: amateur cutting boards in situ with a circular saw)
