Hardwood floors are great! Even 100 year old ones. 


Except, the 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.

These repairs can cause discomfort, ranging from torn socks to potential injuries from exposed nails. Possible solutions include using a hot iron or more drastic measures like renting heavy equipment. #society
