We shouldn't be allowed near tools

In a spare hour last weekend, Pix and I decided to chisel up the concrete in the hallway (not sure why) to see what was underneath. We've always had dreams of restoring original tiles in a property, so thought we'd engage in a minor session of excavation. Upon initial inspection, the result was a success. We spent about an hour chiseling up half of the concrete to reveal original turn of the century tiles (black and white) which looked very cool.

Sadly, after further digging (and a consultation with Head Pole), we learned that the tiles only covered half of the hallway and to restore them would be difficult to say the least. So long story short, (after much frantic Polish panic) - the conclusion was that we would stick with plan A. Restoring the tiles would have almost certainly involved keeping the current floorboards, and therefore not using the Welsh Floor Boards (WFB). And after the well-documented saga/adventure that was the WFB, I don't think I could bare it.
