I won't even ask why they come up, but just how do I keep them from
doing
it.
Pull them and put in larger nails (thicker, longer?)? Some sort of
glue?
Move?
You have face-nailed oak floors? Odd. Replace the nails that are
coming up with spiral-shank nails. That should keep them from coming
out again.
Yes, face-nailed oak floors. That is odd? I guess haven't looked at
floors much; how is it normally done?
Usually they are nailed from the side in the groove so that the nails are
not visible. Use the spiral shank nails as suggested by someone else or get
yourself some nice looking wood screws and drive them in.
