adderbolt, I always liked the squeaky floors because they alerted me to the time the kids came home. lol Character? yes, the old Tiger oak floors with squeaks and all have character. The people who built our house did it in 1942 and said they had to wait until the war was over to get enough wood to do the 2nd floor, & that's why the oak doesn't quite match. They also said they started the house before the war, but because so many workmen were drafted, had to let the foundation "sit" for 2 yrs. until they could get the house built, but they visited the hole many times during that period, just to dream - about the house they would build, about when the war would end... I like having collected those kinds of stories.
