I guess I should have been a little clearer....A price on sanding and
finishing the floor is JUST that..The OP said it looked to be in GOOD
condition.....If there are pieces of flooring that have to be replaced ,
moving furniture or tearing up old carpet is whats called an
extra..$$$$$$..The verble contract was for sanding and finishing the floor
ONLY....Get it now ???? Even driving over to look at it would be pointless
as the room is full of furniture and the carpet is still down....Which is
kinda strange...Most would have peeled the carpet up BEFORE contacting
potential contractors....But hey...You just go with the flow and do the
best that you can...LOL....

Grin, agreed. Most of us would peel up the carpet and check it, but if the
contract also lists replacement costs for any that are bad once uncovered,
it's workable.

Ghod, I havent thought about that house in Atlanta in years. Solid wood
plank floors, 150 years old. Lovely stuff but the topping I used then, was
stuff of the early 70's so dont know what you'd use today.
