I am confused. The flowers on whatever it is I have growing in my garden vary between 2 to five pistils, this is why I thought I had an appalachian bugbane and not a black cohosh. The leaves on the plant in my yard do not smell, nor do the flowers. If I break a stem then it smells. If I try to dig it up, it really smells! The bugbane in my yard doesn't bloom until very late in August, more into September, Everything I read about c. racemosa says it blooms in July to early August. Wild c. racemosa that I have encountered locally blooms in July. From what I remember, appalachian and american bugbanes bloom later in the season than do black cohosh which is another reason why I thought I don't have a black cohosh. Oh well I guess the mystery continues.....

Look at a floor vent if you have them to tell the floors thickness. If the boards are 2" wide the are likely 5/16" thick, if 2 1/4" then 3/4" thick. The pictures show the wood itself to be in good condition with the finish worn through where the wood has turned gray from moisture exposure. If the rest of the floor looks similar I would sand it no matter the thickness. There would be enough wear layer for a professional to work with. PS, I'm with Glen on the woods, red oak and maple.

I really like all your wood. It must be a matter of personal opinion. I think the gray looks okay from what I can see. It might help to see a closeup of your backsplash. I also like Daisy's suggestions.

If you have no berries, on the tree it is possible that there is only one gender of trees, as nature made them male or female and there is nothing you can do to change it. However ever if you have multiple trees, the odds are that you have both genders, so my bet is you have a lot of birds and animals that you are unaware of. For your own interest and to learn about your property, have you consider putting a trail camera out there to see what you do have. I have gotten pictures of two animals that I have never seen near our property in the day light. foxes and opossums. If you do you must reposition it to find the best locations for the camera.
