Any tips on pulling up tongue and groove flooring nailed directly into the joists?
And laying floor back onto the joists for that matter. Got a load of reclaimed Junckers Beech squash court that I’m going to lay. Laid a floor many moons ago, but that was in a loft we were renovating, so still at first fix and onto fresh joists etc. I’m hoping to leave the skirting boards on as they’re original and likely be a fucking disaster if I try and get them off without destroying them. They’re about 10 inches tall which suggests they’ve been on for a long time!
Think I’m going to screw rather than nail, using those fancy screws designed for hidden screwing on the tongue. But aye, any tips appreciated!
