gonna start wearing it again tomorrow if possible.

^i´m surprised that you use a "normal" rope to caulk them since i´ve never seen this before. actually i´ve never seen someone caulking their wooden floor!
is this the "right" way to do it?i have the same floor in my room and some gaps between the different boards as well…that´s the reason i´m asking!
-
It is actually a jute rope I got specifically for the purpose (I bought 3 sizes). I see no reason why it should not work - it works on boats…
well i´ve never saw/heard of this method before, that´s why i´ve been asking my question. but if you say that it´s pretty common and used on boat decks as well…i thank you for your answer sir

Do you use anything to keep the rope in place, like glue? I have a couple of bad spots in my living room floor and this looks cooler than the wood filler that the contractor recommended.
-
Yeah, the previous owner of the house used wood filler, too. After the driest year in Texas's recorded history, the cracks opened up some more and the wood filler disintegrated.
I justed looked at the area again; some of the cracks are pretty narrow- maybe I'll try using some waxed linen thread I have lying around, just to experiment.

Over the years since we rebuilt the house and installed heating, some of the floor boards have shrunk. Time to fix the gaps. Decided to caulk them, much like the decks of wooden boats…..
That's awesome! For my office about to lay a floor using old pallets in a herringbone pattern. This may come in handy!

That is the first time I can ever recall both laughing and having an uncomfortable shiver at the same time. Congratulations.

Agreed! Thank goodness for Giles' practical-man contributions to break up the horror.
