After my great carport to garage conversion (still in progress) is finished, I will move onto insulating under the floors.
I will be following the https://www.ecologicalbuildingsystems.com/ guide for suspended floors. I’ve ordered the not inconsiderable insulation/tapes/membranes from them also.
I’ll be taking up the floorboards, cleaning all the debris they left from the 1960’s and then insulating and reinstalling the boards in two rooms.
My question is, would I be crazy to plain the boards (they are slightly cupped) while they are up? Rather than sand them in place afterwards (dust!) They are painted, which is wearing off after dogs/kids/adults.
The boards will need a-bit of tlc, as I’ll need to cut the tongue off when removing them. Then OSMO etc
Hive consensus please.
