JS: I do: 
* floors have a definite affect on the ambiance and 
what's there have a depressing effect: better floors, 
better moods. 
* mainly for me, sand down the top 64th or 32nd of an 
inch, smear on goo to fill holes, maybe smear on some 
stain, put on a coat of shellac, sand the shellac, put 
on one or two coats of varathane or some such tough 
sealer so's to get rid of or minimize the groady filth 
and disease that's there and make on-going cleaning 
and such easier. (it can happen that a splinter in a 
bare foot or other flesh, e.g. in a fall, can start 
blood poisoning: i've seen it, not with floors but 
from old wood studs.) and it might be good, just in 
case anyone spills or mops, that stuff doesn't drip 
down onto whatever's just below on the second floor. 


Would said refurbishment address their sagging / unevenness,

JS: not in my mind. that'll take a separate approach 
and skill set.
