RE: Floorboards

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

Usual method is to use (at least) a pair of bolster chisels ... Wallop
them down between the boards either side of the board to be lifted near
the end. Prise the two chisels outwards lifting the board at the end ...
Repeat along the length of the board ... This should slowly
"walk" the
board free.
