I’ve found that if your cutting floorboard it’s easier to cut through diagonally across the nails, that way you’ll never miss the joist. And if you’ve lifted lots it makes putting them back down easier as they will all piece together better. Only really works if there’s carpet going back on top though

When I first started rewiring houses I used a floorboard saw, like a panel saw but with a curved blade, jesus! that was hard work. I then discovered you could do a really good job with a jigsaw angled backwards and fed in slowly, it does work. Now I have a minicircular saw and a multitool, unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I don't rewire houses any more. Great video though, I've certainly watched a few of yours now.

Dealing with creaking floorboards is it to simply drive some extra screws in tightly as possible?
@spendtimesavemoneydiy Жыл бұрын
The squeak comes from either the wood rubbing on the metal of a nail or the wood rubbing together so if the boards are screwed down tight then the squeak is eliminated. Just be careful not to screw through pipes or cables which should be in the middle of boards so you can screw either side of them.
