I had this idea, don't know if it's feasible, what do you think?
I have old floorboards in a Victorian house. Some have been messed about with but there's lots of them still in good condition. There's big gaps throughout, as well as a few mouse holes in the skirting!
I want to seal the whole floor up, while also working on the soundproofing. So, to the idea...
What if I took up all the floor boards, and nailed plywood to the joists. Then I could put on a layer of rubber matting for the sound. And then another layer of ply, and either nail or glue the floorboards to the ply?
That way I could close all the gaps, and replace any dodgy boards with reclaimed boards from the salvage yard.
Could this work?
