Fix hole in tounge and groove flooring
Hi! in the middle of my loft floor is a hole where 2 of the tounge and groove floorboards were cut out...its about an 8 inch length, 4 inches on either side of the joist, the boards are about 2 inches wide making it 4 inches wide...I can nail a piece of wood to the joist, but its like a see saw if you put weight on either side of it...cant get tounge and groove boards in without starting at the wall and working over can you?
There are some pieces of tin nailed to the floor in a few pieces...I wonder if these are covering holes fixed with the "see saw" method above...Id rather not use the tin technique...any alternatives to ripping up the rest of the floor to the wall and relaying it?
extend the hole so its ends will reach the middle of the next 2 joists(the ones on either side of the hole)? that would be less ripping up of the old floor...
any ideas appreciated!
