Last night I took a good look at the floor in the room and realized that it's quite crooked. I took a photo using a level and Yoda to show scale. There appears to be a hill in the middle of my room.When you consider buying an old house, keep in mind that "charm" means "try to figure out how to put new mouldings in this room with the crooked floor."
Today I laid down some 1/8" MDF as a temporary floor. This will protect my "charming" floor during the destruction of the walls and ceiling. I also pulled the rest of the mouldings from around the window, around the door, and around the closet door. I pulled them off carefully because I plan to save them, refinish them, and reinstall them. I'll get to that later. I'm alreday excited to post photos of me sanding mouldings by hand.
