Magnificent effort x100

You could cut the bottom strip off the underside of the groove in the last board. But before you install it you could glue a few cleats under the joint for some extra support. That way it has more support than all the other boards.

Is this what you had in mind



Forgot to post earlier

It's not long now you know !
No rest for the wicked.

Yep, exactly.

This has been a fascinating thread. I didn't realise just how much was involved in fitting a floor. It's been educational as well.
If I ever need to replace a floor, I now have enough information on what to do i.e. leave the job to a professional.

Dave, this was a truly fantastic thread. I've learned a lot.

I'm still unsure how you fit some of those boards in without taking off either the tongue or groove. You must have some some sort of advanced magic! I'll need to start from the beginning and see where it's mentioned

Thanks Evanism

Only the last two boards had any tongue removed

Great WIP Dave.

Brilliant thread Dave, and great workmanship. Next floor I have to fix I'll know who to call!
David

Almost packed for the return trip

Hi,
Hope you have a good anti-theft device fitted now that you have something worth nicking in your van.
