A fine fir floor When I pulled up the carpet I had hoped the floor would be salvageable. It was, very - although it did take a lot of work. I replaced whole boards from an earlier job where needed, routed in patches, and covered squeak-stopping screws with fir plugs. I also broad-filled the floor with a slurry of fir saw dust and varnish. My research suggested not to do this, since fir moves a lot and the fill could pop out later. But I figured - if I didn't fill, I'd have gaps. If I did fill, I might have some gaps later. In any event, the floor turned out great!
