Hello
I would appreciate any advice please:
I am laying floorboards in a Victorian house and we would like to do it with a minimum of gaps (or none at all!)
If I buy new pine I think it may shrink and gaps will open up
I thought about buying reclaimed boards and laying them tight so there are no gaps. Does anyone have experience of laying originals and how best to do it to avoid gaps?
What would be the best finish to give the boards an original look? What sort of varnish?
Also - in the basement I have a concrete floor and want to put in pine boards on top, sand and varnish. What is the best way to do this?
Many thanks
Andriy
