When a frontier settler decided to build a second floor directly on top of his existing drafty puncheon floor, neighbors thought he'd lost his mind and was just "wasting good lumber on lumber that already works." Instead of ripping up his split-log flooring like everyone advised, he laid wooden sleepers across it, packed the gaps with sawdust and straw, then nailed down a complete second layer of planks. While his neighbors' feet went numb from the bone-chilling drafts rising through their floorboards from frozen cellars below, his double-floor system created a perfect dead-air insulation pocket that kept his feet a remarkable 33°F warmer. This ingenious "pugging" technique, used by carpenters for both soundproofing and thermal protection, proved that sometimes the best solution isn't replacement—it's addition. Discover how one settler's "wasteful" carpentry project turned his cabin floor from an ice rink into a thermal sanctuary.
