More Hardwood floor advice
Continuing on from my previous post . . We have discovered that the water culprit was a defrosting fridge/freezer. RELIEF!!
So all the carpet is up and the 6387 staples have been removed. The boards are all in pretty good condition.
My question is regarding the gap between boards. Each board is nailed with 2 nails to the joists with a relatively consistent spacing. The biggest being about the thickness of 20cents. I have only seen relatively new hardwood floors where they are butted right up to each other.
1. Is it acceptable to leave like this? Yes I know all sorts of crap will get in there which leads to
2. Should I fill it with something? If so suggestions?Attachment 415861Attachment 415860Attachment 415859Attachment 415858
Alternatively should I just go get some cheap carpet and throw it into there until I can afford the time to rip it up and start again. And the ripping up and starting again is even an option down the track whatever way its finished now.
Really appreciate any advice.
Thanks
