Well, almost - now you've got to populate it - THIS is what a MadModder's parquet floor should look like !

Her in doors would love that. She had waited the last 3 years with no carpet just bear floor we had an extension built and i thought it would be a good time to knock the chimney wall down and make the lounge bigger by 5 ft also added the patio door to give us more light.
was the best thing we done as we couldnt afford to move we had a small 2 bedroomed bunglow with tiny kitchen and lounge and no dining room
we added an extension on the back to make a bigger kitchen and dining room, made the lounge bigger made the old kitchen into a 3rd bedroom and fitted double glazing, a complete new kitchen for a total of less than 30k so we were well pleased with the result

Creynard,
...I`ve laid laminate floor and that was a PITA without much cutting....
An even bigger pain is finding out that you need to get to the wiring beneath the floorboards (upstairs) and that someone has laid interlocking laminate over the whole floor.

If you are just spot fixing a few loose blocks then the solvent based gripfil works well as it softenes the pitch and bonds well. Just been doing some alterations in one of my clients housed and refixed loose and missing ones that way.
Its unlikely your blocks will swell much but its usual to leave about a 10mm gap all round to allow for seasonal expansion and contraction, ideally this is hidden under the skirting that is removed before laying the floor.

The gap around the edge was what i done too You can get cork strips to go in them so looks ok
I did find a good idea for wood filler,
unless you buy bulk its pretty expensive i thought wouldnt it be nice if it was cheap like normal white powder stuff then i though why not mix in some fine sanding dust as i had loads of it so i tried and it works the white turns into yellow fills good and sands down a treat. not that i needed much but was worth the try
