   in the old days, quality lumber was so plentiful they used clear vertical grain fir boards for subflooring. (today, plywood or OSB is the norm.) i had to pull ours because of water damage and to lay ground cover and insulate the crawlspace. despite the nail holes and stains, the old shiplap planks are still sound, so i ripped, planed, filled, sanded, pre-treated, stained, and sealed some to reuse as baseboard and trim. they look good to me, with the flaws only adding to the charm.
