Hello everyone! I have a query I'd like to put in front of the forum. Cue the obligatory "where does this actually belong" sentence/question.
My partner and I just moved into our new to us starter home. Definitely in need of some elbow grease. And I'm currently in need of some advice.
In an upstairs bedroom, a former porch turned into "inside space" has tongue and groove cedar flooring, nailed to the (wiiide-plank cedar) flooring beneath. It's pretty old. Like original to our 1890s house old. It could stay in its place, and I'm inclined to look past the dip, sand and oil the floor. Future buyers might not to be so forgiving/appreciative; and directly beneath the floor we have to run wiring for downstairs
lights.
If, and right now it is a big if, I wanted to remove the tongue and groove cedar flooring does anyone have tips/tricks/advice?
Foolishly I attempted to pry up a couple pieces with a crowbar.
Should I just suck it up and remove the nails individually?
(Preliminary thinking is the cedar could find a new occupation as a beadboard accent wall in a bathroom.)
