First-World Problems...

floornail55.jpg

Hardwood floors are great! Even 100 year old ones.

Except, the repairs done by well-meaning knuckleheads over the years are particularly well suited for...at best...the ripping of socks, and...at worst...the ripping of flesh!

I am unfortunately well aware of the three nails that just love...love...love! to emerge as the floors flex. I discovered them many years ago, and that discovery was accompanied by much swearing and gnashing of teeth.

Slapping hot iron on it is a tempting fix.

Or maybe I need to rent a jackhammer.

Or a backhoe.
