Nailing through the female/grove side?
Q: I’m repairing water damage to a hardwood floor I installed 3 years ago. The damage is small and simply requires me to pull up about 3 feet of flooring. To replace new boards, I have to nail through the “female” or grove side of the maple. Any ideas on how this can be done?
A: Not sure why you have to nail it that way, but I would pre drill the bottom edge of the groove side and nail. A bit of adhesive might be a good idea too.
