Hi
I am removing all the floorboards in my hallway and will be fitting chipboard that is not quite as thick as the original Floorboards. This is fine as i intend to lay a floating floor over this. The problem i have is there used to be a door which has now been bricked up however this doorway had the floorboards running in a continuous length through. The result would be approximately 5 boards coming out from the wall by about 6 inches at a higher lever.
The doorway has been bricked up to the lintel for some strange reason personally i would have just used studded this out and boarded as it is an internal wall.
My options are:
Remove bricks and stud (lots of work)
Is there a way of reducing the thickness of the boards easily... if i plane it then i would have to plane across the wood as the wall would restrict my planer.
Ideally is there such a thing as a planer that has a blade on or near the front ?
