Bought a heritage home a few years ago. Built in 1872. Used EZ strip to remove 5 layers of paint from upstairs hallway. Clearly some boards have been replaced, don’t know if they could be stained to match? The green paint contains lead from a swab test I did. It’s hard as nails so not worried about chipping. Looks like the lead paint could just be the 2 small planks, so could possibly remove and either replace or chemical strip with something stronger outside. Not sure this floor is worth proceeding down the rabbit hole, or repaint or carpet. Just could bring myself to add more paint layers without investigating what’s underneath. Any advice appreciated.
