I have some brand new floorboards alongside some Victorian pine ones. (I know it's not going to look great, but the builder put them in and I'm not going to rip them out again so I'm just going to apply the same stain and hope they'll be reasonable.) The question is - at what stage of the sanding process should I start on those? Should I go through all the grits with them as well?
There's a room upstairs which we've also stripped back to boards. I'm pretty sure that it slopes along the joists - the ceiling in the room below is also far from horizontal so it makes sense. If I were to lay flooring on top of the floorboards, what would/could I use underneath to level the floor out?
