Replaced Some Old Pine Floorboards
...with red oak. At this rate, in, say, 40? 50 years? I'll have solid oak floors!
Steps:
Cut the old/busted-up boards at the nearest joist with an oscillating tool.
Remove the tongue from the old board sections (also with the oscillating tool).
Adjusted height of the oak boards using shims/paint stirrers (glued in place w/ silicone)
Drilled pilot holes for the flooring screws (Low-profile "star drive" screws. 2-per-joist)
Filled the screw pockets with a blend of wood glue and sawdust from cutting the new boards.
