House #2 - Our task here was to remove the hardwood flooring so that it could be cleaned and reused. The water level in this house was somewhere around two feet off the floor. The hardwood was actually in surprisingly good shape once the eighth of an inch of silt is wiped off. Thom is pulling nails out of the floorboards here.

99 		Some drywall already removed, but it looks like more will need to be removed, as what's left still has mold on it.

103 		Newspaper found under the floor. The newspaper was dated in October, 1946. This seems to indicate the approximate time the floor was originally installed.
