spacer back in my RE Store days, i salvaged literal
acres of hardwood floors, but this is the first
time i've actually tried installing reclaimed
t&g oak. it's a lot of extra work to sort, trim,
                    route, denail, and clean up used boards
                                  which, having been sanded
                                      and refinished to       varying
                                 thickness, results in a less than
                         perfectly flat surface. it doesn't
                                   make sense from a time
                                          or dollar perspective,
                                            but it's better than letting good material go
                                              to waste, and if you can live with a slightly
                                                   flawed floor, at least they're pre-finished.
