FLOOR Posted by Drhome on February 22nd, 1999 05:38 PM In reply to gaps between wood flooring slats by angieb. on February 22nd, 1999 12:42 AM [Go to top of thread]
It is also possible that this is the subfloor and the regular floor was never installed. This was a normal installation prior to the 1960's for floor installations. The original homeowner, as a way to cut down the cost, may have said that he would install the hardwood later.
One way to tell is by looking at the quality of the wood. If Henry is correct on the wood shrinkage, I would inspect the house much closer for other signs of poor workmanship and poor materials.
