Remove Vinyl tile from Oak Floor
The idiot that owned my house before me covered the Oak flooring in the hall
with glue down vinyl tiles. {A section 4'x12'.) Is it worth trying to remove the tiles and refinishing or should I just pull the entire floor and start over? Suggestions?

Remove Vinyl tile from Oak Floor
A few years ago I rehabbed a 75 year old house, one bed room 12X14 had two
layers of peel and stick 12" tiles covering beautiful 3/4" oak floor. Once I removed all the tiles I spent the next two days on my ass with a razor scraper and a bottle of simple green and lots of course steel wool. Was it worth it...you bet it was....after sanding and refinishing with stain and water based poly it looks like a million dollars. I did all the floors in the house and this was by far the hardest but it was well worth it. Good luck. Muff "Teamcasa" wrote in message ...
