The 1st floor is almost complete. The floor joists have been replaced, the original flooring relaid, and everything has been rough sanded. All that is left is to fill some rough areas, final sanding, and then a clear sealant.
We want to keep the original look. The plan is to just apply a clear sealant.
There is one issue we did run into this past week. We had some heavy rains and detected a leak above the front windows. At one time there were windows above the store front. A long time ago they closed them up with wood and mortar. Years of neglect and termite damage is causing water to seep in. We have a contractor starting this week. They are going to remove all the damaged wood, rebuild the facade, and then paint everything making it look new.
