Q: When does a three-story house have four floors?
A: When it's in your kitchen.
Don't get it? Then you haven't seen this kitchen. Kathy single-handedly removed all the green ceramic tile, which made a big mess and made the floor almost an inch lower.
Under the tile was a stranded-wood veneer that had been painted green to match the old cabinets. For for awhile, at least, the kitchen had a green-painted wood floor. Cute.
Under that was checkered linoleum. We peeled that up, but it left a residue of sticky felt backing. Turns out that if you pour water on it and let it soak for 15-20 minutes, the felt comes up pretty easily. (Messy, but easy.)
And under that is a floor of 6" redwood planks. We think that's the bottom layer, but we can't be sure until we pry up a board or drill a small hole through one. Either way, that's four layers of flooring in one room. Sheesh.
