Replaced Some Old Pine Floorboards
...with red oak. At this rate, in, say, 40? 50 years? I'll have solid oak floors! Steps: Cut the old/busted-up boards at the nearest joist with an oscillating tool. Remove the tongue from the old board sections (also with the oscillating tool). Adjusted height of the oak boards using shims/paint stirrers (glued in place w/ silicone) Drilled pilot holes for the flooring screws (Low-profile "star drive" screws. 2-per-joist) Filled the screw pockets with a blend of wood glue and sawdust from cutting the new boards. submitted by /u/FocalSpot [link] [comments]
