Ripping out your old original flooring? Im after a few lengths

Hi all,

Wanting to replace some of our old original timber floor boards (About 20% needs replacing) and annoyingly they seem to vary in width. Im after a few varying lengths of 132mm width -found a few on reclaimed floorboard websites this size but I only need a few so seems excessive. The rest of the floor has about a million layers of paint on anyway so as long as theyre not falling apart/rotten, theyll be getting painted so them being in good condition isnt too important to me. Will carry on checking skips in the meantime 

Cheers

Tommy

Hi Tommy,

Sorry I can't help with any boards at present but have a couple of thoughts.

Look out for boards that are wider as well. A circular saw can easily trim them to the correct width and I could help you with that.

The thickness of the boards is more important to get a good finish.

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
