The cork and kitchen vinyl were stuck onto masonite which was great but still a huge mess to get out (hundreds of tacks in the kitchen apparently). There were wet patches in the loungeroom (we think from a dog - to think I let my 12mo baby crawl around on it *vomit*) and wet patches in the kitchen where something had leaked. The whole place stank and they had to put fans and heatlamps on the wet patches for 48 hours before they could finish it.
Here are some photos as promised. Sorry for taking so loooooong... 1. The disgusting carpet in the loungeroom 2. The disgusting carpet in the dining room 3. Taking the tacks out in the kitchen 4. Loungeroom sanded - woohoo!!! 5. Close up of cyprus floorboards - ah, lovely! 6. What it looks like after finishing (with toys and crumbs LOL) We used a finish called 'Traffic' and we're really, really happy with it. The rest of the house is pretty original and in chaos since we moved and if we ever feel like we need to feel better we look down at the floor. Thanks for all your help and patience.
