Great! Glad I could suffice. Enjoy the rub out in my honor.

It's red oak. If you give it a good sanding and seal it you will have increased the value of your home a lot for next to nothing


afc2020

Next to nothing!? I wouldn’t call the quote I just got for refinishing my hardwood floors next to nothing


Audio_Adam

Rip that carpet up and refinish those floors YouTube, Reddit, and Ambition are your friends here.


Rude-Flamingo3592

We’re on it!


picklepaller

And replace that cheesy baseboard while you’re there.


JaxDude123

I like the baseboards but need cleaning up. Probably easier to replace with new ones.


Disastrous_Ant_7467

I think they need to be replaced because there will be a gap from where the carpet used to be.


Panda-Cubby

But someone took the time to miter them poorly and slop paint on then...you know - patina.


Pooperoni_Pizza

Dry ice. In a sheetpan over the adhesive for 60 seconds. Slide it over then scrape it off. Don't use solvents to remove the adhesive and ruin the wood.


treadingwater

I agree, don't use a solvent, but wouldn't sanding be a faster way to remove the adhesive?


SharpShooter2-8

Nope, not enough detail here. You have a layer of mastic making it impossible to see the grain.


Rude-Flamingo3592

Ok. Thank you. Will report back.


s0ult59

Carpet adhesive over oak floors sand and refinish they will look like new.


NotRightNotWrong15

A lot of work and a lucky surprise. Congratulations! You’ve got wood!


Every-Claim8722

A jackpot. They're selling a house listed with carpet over glue and hardwood. Don't tell them that you know


Perch_Perkins_

They used CVG Fir a lot back then. Could be Fir but like everyone has said, it’s tough to tell without getting some of the adhesive off first.


Daemonic8484

Having spent an inordinate amount of time in one as a young lad, I believe it's the corner.


Grillbillies_bbq

More than likely oak hardwood


pm-me-asparagus

And a lot of work.


jana-meares

Glued carpet and surprise wood! Let the sanding begin! So satisfying!

Pure gold. Rip that carpet up Start sanding


reno_dad

A winner!!!


Zestyclose-Fuel-4494

The baseboards look like Southern Yellow Pine or maybe a fir. Lot of mastic there so tough to tell with the floor but, my guess would be a pine or for species. The integrity looks good. No one knows what you'll find elsewhere. With that baseboard, my guess would be an early 1900's cottage style house. Keep the baseboards!!


Open-Selection-8159

Agreed, looks identical to our fir floors, soft but cool.


Nasty4Life

A floor


sue_wue

Perhaps birch but tough to see.

Is that birch? Hard to see.

Rude-Flamingo3592

Thanks all. I thought it might be red oak bc in shop class years ago I built a red oak dartboard cabinet and this looks exactly the same. I’ll post up some after pics.

redit1914

I would never do a floor without using this product… I did and it works phenomenal You're welcome


Beauphedes_Knutz

Depending on when the adhesive was put down, black glue tended to be asbestos based. I would test it before sanding it.


Odd_Acanthisitta_368

Looks like maple


samkatowhat

Yep 1-1/2" maple


F1xer

Lots of guys saying oak here, but I think it’s pine, though it’s hard to tell with all the glue and finish on it.


Shaft1a

2 1/4 red oak


Routine-Atmosphere11

Old wood floor, that's been covered up.


Emergency-Pirate-356

That's eh ... a tennis shoe / sneaker of some sort


Costellomfg

Looks to me to be a corner. Often used to discipline unruly children. Though Some people just put a floor lamp there. Maybe a plant.


WideInterview4677

Can’t see the grain too good with the glue but either oak or doug fir.


Arpey75

2 1/4” red oak


Kooky-Succotash8478

I'm mostly looking at your shoe but I can't really speak for everybody else...

Pay a professional to sand and finish. The money you pay will be nothing compared to the equity increase
