Slightly broken floorboard. Have gone into basement and taken down insulation. Current plan is to use an old 27mm thick bit of beech I have left over from another project to brace perpendicular to the boards, across 2 or 3 boards to either side of the broken one. Sound good?
Second issue
The radiator pipe is too close to the floor board so every time we walk past it the metal creaks. Unfortunately this is on our kids bedroom and it creaks when we walk in and out in evening. They are light sleepers.
I was thinking I'd just want to file back the wood somehow but not sure how best to go about this.
Few tasks this weekend.
