My wife wants an old time board floor in the bedroom. I have some 1x8 cedar boards laying in the barn I think I'll use. Cost much less than buying new boards, altho I haven't seen a cedar floor before.
These boards do not have tongue and groove. She wants the nails to show. Should I glue the boards down to the subfloor as I nail them down? I think I'll put the rough side down (the side made to face out for siding) and the plain smooth side up for easier sanding.
I have a belt sander and a Random Orbital sander. If I use these tools to sand the floor, Is it going to take me days instead of the hours it would take if I go rent a professional floor sander?
Thanks
