Today, I finally removed enough furniture to take a look at the "footprint" left by the original center wall, fireplace and venting system in the living room. My anticipation and enthusiasm for uncovering this mystery was much higher then the results revealed. All I can see is a large, poorly done patch about 2 feet from the wall. Perhaps the original oil burning furnace vent was here. Not sure if this can be repaired, patched or at least blended in to match. Now we need to find the fireplace chimney patch and see how this all comes together. I can't remove all of the carpet and padding because the drywall ers want it left in place until they have finished. And since they have not even started, we are stuck with our terrible carpet for a bit longer.
I just wish the floors could talk so we wouldn't have to be surprised and perhaps deeply disappointed by the hidden holes, patches and perhaps missing boards that we walk on every day.
Ready to get this process going.
October 25, 2015 addition- Finished floors, no sign of the poorly patched vents. Nice job "V".
