Greetings! I am so fortunate to have found this website! I now have a garage full of used hardwood flooring planks salvaged from a friend's house. Over half of it has been de-nailed, thank goddness.

If anyone that has installed USED hardwood could give me any tips, I would appreciate it!

mschatelaine, how did you clean the tongue and grooves? Lighty hand-sand? Can you lay "slightly" warped planks? Can you "force" them straight by nailing them? Did you have a slight gap between planks? How bad does that look after refinishing? When playing with the pieces, they don't seem to fit as tight as new wood planks, of course. Wood fill putty? (Ugh) I was warned about recycled wood. Very labor intensive. It would have gone to the dump. HAVE I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE???
