Filling Gaps In Hardwood Floors?
Took possession of the new place.
Wife objects to the gaps in the hardwood floors, wants to have them filled. The floors are in fine shape and do not need refinishing, except for the gaps. But she's right, if we're ever going to have the floors done, time to do it now, before furniture arrives. The more objectionable gaps are over 3mm wide, so probably need strips of oak cut and glued in place, rather than simply filler putty.
Anyone think this is a DIY job? Anyone tried trimming and gluing in thin strips of hardwood flooring without sanding and refinishing the floor? What tool would you use to cut thin (3-5mm) strips precisely enough? I was thinking table saw w/ fine tooth blade, then hand plane to fit.
