I have to repair my living room floor. I bought some planks from a bargain warehouse. When I got it home I noticed that it was different in the fitting and some of it was a different style.
I have to have this floor fixed tonight. I don't have anymore money. What can I do?You might be able to saw down the planks so they do fit and stain the whole floor so it matches.
What a dilemma!
Can you return the planks or trade for ones that fit? Style may not be as big a problem as fit; especially as this seems to be an emergency job.
Someone could probably give you better suggestions if you could add some pictures to your post.
Adding pictures is easy - go to your post and find instructions.
Pictures will show someone exactly what you are trying to do as 'planks' does not give a complete picture of your problem.
Also, please comment if you have access to tools and if you can do measuring and cutting yourself.
