A reminder of what we started with.
I had hoped for a proper underlayment beneath the carpet, but that was foolish. So, after taking up all the little ticky-tack carpet things, we had to remove the uber soft particle board. Again, I hoped that I could just pry them up one board at a time, but they were so soft that each nail had to be pulled individually. I counted 40 nails in one board and then stopped counting.
At this point, we had a decent plank subfloor. I screwed down a couple of loose spots, but all in all, was surprised at the decent condition. These boards are mighty old, as I'm pretty sure plywood or OSB subfloor has been the norm for a number of decades now.
Green shingles were used in some places to level out the floor. Ignore that hatchet; what kind of crazy person uses a hatchet to take up floor?
