I'm after a few tips on lifting some floorboards so I can do some work on the ch pipes underneath. The house was built in 1960, and the floorboards in question haven't been up since it was built. They are usual old school boards, not tongue and groove.
The main problem would be getting the end of a board started. Any tips would be great. From the side of the landing/staircase I reckon the joists are either 175 or 200mm.
I'm wondering if it is ok to use a punch to knock the nails down through the boards on upstairs boards, or are the nails likely to come through the ceiling below?
Thanks for any advice.
