Hi all

In the next month or so I am going to lift the foor boards in the lounge and
straighten the edges and then re-lay them.

My question is this would you do it any other way?

I'm planning to take each floorboard Screw a straight edge on to the back of
the floorboard and then run a router up against the straight edge to give me
a nice edge. Then working from the other side of the straight edge I will
straighten up the other edge.

This will enable me to screw the straight edge onto the board whilst working
on it and when it's removed the holes will be on the underside of the board.

Any suggestions on making sure that the following board is the same width
would be welcome. I'm currently planning to measure and use the straight
edge technique on all boards. Is there a better way?

Here's a link to a picture for you to see the type of problem I have.

the gap is about 1 inch

Many thanks for any replys.
