Fixing SW t&g flooring
This is my shed, a smart, habitable shed but still a shed. Having
secured my 2x1 battens to the concrete floor I am going to lay sw/whitewood unfinished ex 6x1 t&g boards to make a permanent floor. I don't want to screw the boards down, too ugly and too much work to plug screw holes so it will be nails, and I am wondering: Non secret nailing, ovals? in pairs? Secret nails in the tongue? in the groove? Pre- drilled? Secret screwing even? Hire a floor nailing device? Air gun nailing? I have a compressor and a nail gun but the nails it uses seem spindly for this kind of work. Now I think about it I am wondering if a drill bit with a countersink and Number 6 screws angled through the tongue might just make a really good and easy job of it. But I have been wrong before.
