how much length to remove. You want the new butt joint to be staggered about 10
in. from the butt joints of any adjacent flooring courses. Draw a line for the
cut,air jordan, then use a sharp chisel (1 in. or wider) to carefully cut the line through
the top 1/8 in. of the flooring to create a crisp edge that defines the new
butt joint. With a spade bit, drill three relief holes next to the layout line
to remove the bulk of the wood. Complete the cut by using the chisel to trim
the full edge of the butt joint completely square and clean.

cuts an inch apart down the center of the flooring plank to be removed. Set the
saw blade depth 1/16 in. deeper than the thickness of the flooring. Position

relief cuts and pull the tongue-and-groove edges of the old flooring where they

replacement flooring piece using a table saw, circular saw, or sharp chisel and
utility knife. Set the saw fence to cut 5/16 in. off the width of the plank and
the saw blade depth to cut into it 1/4 in. deep. Once the bottom groove has
been removed,moncler pas cher, measure the length required for the replacement piece and cut it.

position using a rubber mallet. Drill pairs of 1/8-in. nail holes near the ends
of the new board and at each joist and fasten the flooring with 8d finish
