I have about a third of a room to lay with new tongue and groove floorboard, the other two thirds being the orignal tongue and groove - I've lifted a couple of the original boards, the rest of the gap is as a result of enlarging the room.
The original board were layed in the opposite direction from the way I now have to work, following conventional wisdom that one starts with the tongue against the wall and lay each board against exposed tongue of the last one, blind nailing through the tonge.
I now have to start in the middle and work the other way, i.e. with the groove exposed rather than the tongue. I can't see this posing any real problems except that I'll have to either blind nail through the groove or exposed nail down through the board. The blind nailing will be slow as every nail will be have to be pushed the last 10mm with a punch, exposed nailing is a less satisfactory finish.
Anyone got any comments. Anyone tried blind nailing through the groove.
