Any time you pull up flooring to expose hardwood underneath, you are taking a gamble. Our gamble payed off mostly, but there are definately some areas that needed some work. Because the floor is 80years old we were unable to match the wood exaxtly, so we improvised a little. Actually the end result turned out to be a lot cheaper than replacing flooring and will look okay in the end. We had long since given up the hope that the floor was in good enough condition to refinish, so we are simply going to paint it. The replacement wood for these repairs was salvaged from other parts of the building that we are taking out. The smaller patch was actually part of a windowsill in a wall that we removed. The larger plank was cut from a sturdier piece of subfloor.
