WTF #28

This house is just full of surprises. As we pulled up the carpet in Kathy's 3rd-floor office we expected to find paint-splattered wood underneath—and we weren't disappointed.

What we didn't expect was this metal plate. It's galvanized steel and nailed into the floor right by the doorway. I'd say it measures about 12x18 inches. The nailing job is sloppy, like someone did it with the heel of a shoe.

I know I've got to pull this plate up, just to see what's underneath. Besides, we've got to replace it before we paint the floor; we can't just leave it here. But I'm postponing that little project for a few days. We've got company coming, and if this thing opens up a hole into another dimension or something I don't want to deal with it until after the weekend.
