And we always had newspaper underneath lino and carpets, because the gaps between our floorboards had to be seen to be believed.[/quote]
That's pretty funny. I remember daddy taking up several layers of old linoleum to put down under layment and carpeting. Underneath was layers and layers of newspaper. Under that was tin cans and stove pipe that had been hammered out and nailed over holes in the floor. They were in a formation. When I asked about it, Dad said, "Your mom and her sisters sat down on the couch and the legs of it went through the floor." The house at one time had had some termites. :lol: :lol: :lol:
