Jealous - we're waiting for a complicated operation to commence involving lifting boards, then putting down insulation, electrics and pipes for a new radiator before they go back down and get sanded. None of the trades involved are that excited because of the logistics involved, and the boards are tongue and groove (even though I think they're the original 1940s boards) so taking them up semi-intact will be a massive pain in the arse.

Oh, we've had that. All the joists downstairs were rotten and got replaced, then insulation went in as well as a total re-wire and re-plumb of the house. Upstairs the floors are a bit slanted but putting them totally level would basically mean taking the house apart, so we're going for flat-but-not-level up there. But in a week or two it should all look like nothing's been done to the floor in years.

Floorboard guy is in this week (and we're out). They've definitely had a long, hard life but I'm here for the derelicté vibe of it.
