Hey Emily, when is the last time you used Old World Floors?  They did a great
job when we had all our floors redone when we bought this house in 2000.
I've tried to get a hold of them recently.  We had a radiator leak that
warped some boards and I'd like them replaced.  I've tried calling on
numerous occasion.  I left two unreturned messages and the last
couple of times it said that the mailbox was full and wasn't taking
any new messages.  I was worried that something happened to Bobby.
When I priced things out before, I didn't think he was more expensive.
A bunch of companies tried to tell me the floors were too thin to
be sanded but they'd be more than happy to sell me new floors.
