   JW-

   It helps with the uniformity of a thread to keep adding the subject pics and posts to the same original thread. If not then all the other single posts get isolated and buried,  lost to the topic.99308.1 

   Would be even better to find that old thread from '06 to add them to.

   I remember that house. Super job!

    Cheers. View Image

    

   Peace out.

   NICE!

   Nothing like bringing back one of these old houses.

   Like rez mentioned, keep it all in one thread, easier to follow.

   JW,

   Very nice, indeed.  What finish did you use on the floor?

   Do some of the floorboards end midspan between joists?  How thick are the boards?  I am assuming no subfloor, correct?

   In my 1830s house, the chestnut floorboards that end midspan are cut at a matched 45-degree angle.  They are tongue-in-groove and about an inch and a quarter thick.  So plenty of support.

   Is that fireplace original to the house?  What part of the country?

   I haven't gone back to your previous threads yet, so forgive my lack or recollection.

   Great work!

   The House is in NW Mass.

   I used polyurethane as a finish on the floors

   the boards are about 3/4" thick.

   In places there is a sub floor of 1/4" very rough sawn planks

   Some of the flooring is T&G some not.

   The floors are pine

   as far as I know the fireplace is original, however there was work done in the 40's

   in that room and the hearth may have been modified at that time.

   Here is a picture of the Fireplace with the brick above the box exposed

   thanks for you interest.
