I am sanding!
Although the floors in this wartime house were all hardwood the upper floor had been tiled and I covered it with carpet. Had to remove the bathroom carpet a few years ago ( cat peeing) and recently decided to remove the carpet in the small hall also. I had not realised this floor was hardwood and some of the tiles popped loose when I was pulling staples and was I surprised! So I had a chat with a lady at a flooring store and started popping tiles, the glue was so old most came up pretty easily and now I have started sanding the old glue off. I just to a small section at a time so it will take a while but the wood is looking so nice I keep wanting to go back and do more!
Once that is done I will have to put a finish coat on it and get the quarter round and put back plus edgers where the bathroom vinyl and bedrm carpet meet the wood.

Heres what it looks like- old tile in the middle, old glue on left and bottom and strip on the right where I have been sanding.
