How it went
Doug, The floor was very difficult to get out as there was large quantities of very good glue holding it in. I had to drive in wedges to get the wood off, then use a wood chisel to remove the remaining glue and wood which remained on the floor liner. With the help of a quarter sheet of teak and holly, I was able to reuse most of the old floor, which I did not think was possible as portions of it were very black. The black stains sanded off quite nicely. It was very frustrating work, but it looks great now. Almost forgot, I had to cut the piece at the bottom of the stairs in half to get it out, and put it back in two pieces as well. The alternative was dismantling the stairs, which looked like a lot of work. Good luck!
