It could be a wild plum. There is quite a lot of variation in prunus americana.

Lilypad, I can get a visual on it now, the fierce competition if those plants were offered for sale. And I would want to be right in the middle of it. My first exposure to a violet show was by happenstance. The Seattle AV club had a show at a local shopping mall. If the plant was for sale after the show, a colored dot was put on its card. I was apparently one of the few that asked about what the dot meant. Most of the plants were not spoken for, and I think I purchased 20-22, hard to remember. Average price was 5-6.00, and they couldn't be picked up til the show was over. Yeehaw! Barbara

Thanks everyone! I already have 5 in the ground and they are getting really big, but they are regular white and the fundzui- the one that blooms all sumer, by the way, he had that too. I really wanted an evergreen bush to provide a little privacy onn my driveway, which is stoned, but is visible to the street. When I saw this red sweet olive, or what most people call tea olive, I thought it would be nice to use that, it is evergreen, and I can move it if I want. So, as it grows, it will be my privacy shrub. (I really should get something else too, the drive is wide). Lou, I totally hear you on taking your shrubs with you, I would do the same thing! The grower hasn't seen it bloom yet. They have a big one,and they grow them from cuttings, but their red hasn't bloomed yet. So, the challenge will be to see when it blooms. it may take a while, but I will wait. The white bloom young, you never know, I may get lucky and it may bloom next year. You never know.... I will post a pic here, you can count on that.

How do you know what you know about old houses, etc?

Whoa, if you get a degree in industrial arts you get to acquire carpentry textbooks along the way?!? Sweet! Kim, I've always enjoyed/appreciated your contributions; given the wisdom of trial and error that was behind them, I see why they stood out. My mom got us a couple of the Reader's Digest fixit books (have to run downstairs, one of them might be the very one you have); I like the way they are encyclopedic and detailed. I know Jane Powell but not the Small Houses books (do you mean The Not So Big stuff by Susanka, or the Small House anthologies from Fine Homebuilding?) Thanks for mentioning books; I think I might start a reference book thread for this forum. Hey Casey, THANKS for taking the bait. And you are NOT a bloody genius, you are an old house DEITY for crying out loud! Would you please start your own show on youtube? Or maybe just a house tour? Even Petch house has youtube videos. Or, do you already have a project blog and everyone knows about it but me? Actually for someone with a degree in historic preservation, I am impressed with how low-key your posts come across; they read more like an old friend who's "been there" and wants to pass along lessons learned along the way, it's really very nice and encouraging. But if you ever want to browbeat me feel free; I would take it as a compliment. To be honest if I post about something I'm thinking of doing to my house, and you don't opine, I figure one of two things is going on: 1) you're not on the forum; or 2) you're politely disapproving. Most of the time I assume it's 2 because you seem to be pretty consistent around here. But I just want to say, and I hope I speak for many, that I love love love your posts, especially when I'm searching on a problem I'm trying to solve and something from you pops up! (PS I finally got around to using that general finishes gel varnish you recommended and it was fantastic, thank you; I will post photos to the woodworking forum sometime before the next census.) Oh, and I love the way you "aged" the color tones in the new pine beadboard in your kitchen; reminds me of the pine in my grandmother's kitchen. When I was really little I used to look at the gleaming pores and think it was the closest wood could get to 24K gold.

Well it defiantly looks like flooring...because of the wood trim at the bottom...(used to be called mop boards....lol)

But it looks warped. So that is confusing.

It also looks like counter top...

What did you do,? start a fire in your kitchen??

Sorry...defiantly should have been definitely...I had that first then decided to check it on my speller...it gave me the other spelling...so I trusted it....dummy me.
I checked it elsewhere and I was right the first time...

It's a vanity top....ta da....am I right...I just figured that white piece at the side is not where it is warped that's the sink bowl.

Well, isn't that the side of a toilet?

So I vote for bathroom flooring, too. From the looks of it, it may have been through a flood? or in a basement? or maybe an abandoned RV?

Looks like one of those sidewalk toilets I saw in Europe in 1968. (The ones shielded by wooden sides that did not reach all the way to the ground.)

I can't decide on my answer, I think it's a pop tart but maybe it's the floor under the stove, um that's kind of like what one of mine looked like when we moved in to base housing one time ;0) It didn't stay that way lol.

lauriemi - right on!! She could make a small fortune on ebay.

My suggestion - a craft project gone horribly awry?

But it's probably the floor next to the toilet.

The floor next to a toilet that has been leaking/dripping for a few years. I'll bet there use to be a carpet on top of that floor. Yuck...glad I odn't have to clean it...

I would say a bathroom floor since I can see what appears to be the edge of a commode and commode seat on the left side of a picture.Oh,and I also see a kittens head and front paws right in the center of that "floor"?

At first glance it looked like cheese pizza, but after reading the above guesses, it sure hope it isn't! I like Laurie's answer best.

Some of your guesses were priceless!
The Jen(n)'s and Lydia have it spot on - the bathroom in an abandoned suite - the tenants are now suing me because "it was clean when they left it"...rofl.
I can almost guarantee it hasn't been cleaned in the 3 years they lived there. The rest of the place is just as nasty, going to be a major project to get that place back to rentable.
I took thorough pictures of everything, I'm quite certain the arbitrator will have a good laugh over their comment versus the visual evidence.

nicki,

You'll survive ...

... if you don't eat till tomorrow's breakfast.

But your stomach will disagree.

P.S. I guess that the original poster isn't laughing (as she suggested in the title).

Or I wouldn't be ... if I had to clean from the front door to there!

And back.
