Has anyone ever salvaged 3 inch oak tongue and groove flooring to use
again in another location? My circa 1850 hewed log home had oak
flooring laid over its original flooring in 1945, and we'd like to
restore it and use the oak elsewhere. How can we pull it up without
destroying it?
It appears that they laid a framing of 2X4s back in 1945, and nailed the
oak tongue and groove to it. Would a recip saw work, do you suppose, to
cut the nails to that framing? Or is there something else?
Thanks!
