Board stretching, 1922 style.
This joist was only a couple of feet short of the length needed. Instead of getting a board the right length, they cobbled on a piece to make it long enough. Martin has found a variety of ways that the carpenter pieced stuff together to conserve on wood usage.
One week's worth of nails. Martin removed all of these nails as he was taking out interior walls and the upstairs floor.
