@Giles:

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

[Chris]

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.

[Giles]

I used wood filler, but it cracks and falls out over time.  No glue needed it, it just wedges in.  I found a video of how to do it a few years ago, let me take another look….

[Chris]

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.

@Giles:

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.

What I did on Friday.

Decided to go hit up the Walt Disney Family Museum with a friend of mine.

Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to take pictures of anything inside. Sucks because their was some cool stuff in there. They have a miniature of the original Disneyland theme park as well as Walt's history and personal items.

Afterwards, we went on and seized the beautiful day in the city. A few pictures.

This was all done in about 10 hours. Best believe we were sick of each other after that hangout.

[urbanwoodsman]

Work.
