New floor . Our 13 year old son at the time, was watching a couple deer that came almost up to the window

We could have just sanded the floor that was in the cabin and it would have been gorgeous, but the cabin leaned toward the front by about enough that everything rolled to the front door and the foundation logs were rotted, so the floor had to come out. It also needed bracing under the section where the back room was added on. We put those concrete blocks under it. It withstood a pretty good earthquake later on. It should last another 100 years. Did I tell you it was donated to the county in 1939 and was a loggers cabin before that and subsequently sold to the private developer who we bought it from. The occupant had a 99 year lease on it and when his wife died, he just up and left.?

Dang it now, you're giving me ideas again, just hate the idea of pulling up the flooring, I like the spiked/hob nailed boots marks in the floors. Would make it a heckuva lot easier to level the place though. Have big honking boulders beneath the entire building - even like the new joists. If I can buy a nailer I need to sister new board to the old joints, need to jack up both ends of boards. Stick new in and then add the new joist on either side - want it too last another 100 years - or so

Actually we covered it with plywood. We had plenty of old rough cut boards but we used them to build the Biffy. Wouldn't they have been awesome, planed and used on a floor in a home
