Another Floor Repair Project

So now that we cut our chops on that itty bitty floor repair project in the kitchen, we on to the Big One. At some point in the history of the house a fire ate a pretty sizeable chunk of floor in the living room, plus the radiator leaked badly at some point causing substantial rot.

Some would say this floor is beyond repair, too far gone. We're willing to give it another chance (though we won't kid ourselves about the incredible amount of work involved in this breath of life).

It would be too much detail to try to finger in this much surface area. Instead, we're going to install a completely different species of wood (oak), in the opposite direction, like parquet. Once installed, it will be stained differently from the maple. The end effect will be a quirky little detail.
