G'day Everyone

[mindy]

Hi everyone! Just discovered this site, and am very pleased with what I've found! Can anyone help me with a query I have about an old pine foor? We renovated a 1970 brick veneer, and found tongue and groove pine boards under the carpets and tiles. The roof was left off, and the floor was unprotected for around 9 months (rain and heat). We then polished the boards, replacing broken boards with hardwood, but now the tongues have come away from the grooves, and there are gaps and cracks all over the place! Would the extreme temperatures and our neglect to cover the floor have caused this? And, what can I do to fix it?

Thanks so much! I'm still learning to drive around this site, and it seems there's paths leading off everywhere!
