Should I lay my reclaimed parquet flooring when I've finished cleaning it up or leave it until I have the central heating installed and the house is warmer?
At the minute there's a oil radiator and dehumidifier in the room but obviously the house is bearable to work in rather than liveable.
The flooring is circa 1932 from what I remember when I bought it, hardwood.
Anyone who says this can be relaid without cleaning it up has definately lower standards than me. lol. I've scraped off the bottoms of all of it so far and started giving it a quick run over on the top with the belt sander - mainly so I can pick out any split or badly damaged ones before fitting them.
They have a serious amount of varnish on them so much so they are a different colour. I'd still llike to clean the edges but fear I will be on the point of burning it and fitting laminate by then. :-)
I've test stuck a piece down and think I'll have trouble taking it back up so no worries about them coming up hopefully.
