Thanks. I know some small details I would do differently next time but the original condition was deplorable. I appreciate Dick's comment about the grain except I have to admit the Parquet flooring somewhat predates my personal flooring experience, so, I had to look it up.

I actually like the look of the Parquet floor!

But, thanks, Dick, for treating me like one of the family. When I'm 30 years or so older, I'm sure I'll be looking extra careful at those details.  Ha!
