Couple Finds Hidden Parquet Floor During Renovation, Faces Tough Decision

• Matt and Em, renovating their old house in Wales, discovered a beautiful parquet wooden floor hidden beneath old carpets.
• The discovery, shared on social media (renovate_twenty_seven), went viral, with many calling it a "treasure" and advising against removal.
• Despite its beauty, the floor was damaged, rotten at the edges, and incomplete, making restoration costly and impractical.
• The couple also planned to install underfloor heating, which was incompatible with the old wooden floor.
• They ultimately decided to remove the floor, a decision experts say is sometimes necessary if damage is extensive or modern amenities are desired.
