I am planning to replace a worm-eaten floor with new tongue and

them. How long should I wait to dry them out properly?
I acclimatised T&G softwood flooring destined for my bathroom for
three months before fitting. Still shrunk over the hot pipe runs. I'd
guess a decent hardwood would be better.
T&G - hot pipe runs on top of joists, the same problem.
