My basement has an old wood center beam with 2 sections of the floor. The one half of the basement floor joists appear very old and dark, and dirty and the joists contain bridging.
On the other hand, the other side, the floor joists appear cleaner and lighter in color. They look newer and there is no bridging between the joists.
Were these floor joists and floor boards likely replaced by the previous owener or is this likely original and just aged differently. Also, is the bridging added after the house is older, or before it is built?
btw, this house is approx 86 years old.
