Australia Day - The Floor

The water has caused the floor to swell.

Interestingly when the floor was put down they included a 12mm expansion joint.  By the look of things we needed a 50mm expamsion joint.  Actually much of the problem is the expansion of the ply underneath.

Near the back door we have a sort of pleasantly stylish hump.

To release the pressure, we ran the circular saw down the western side of the floor.  Then we lifted out two planks and the plywood underneath.

Then we put in a set of acro props to push the bump down.

It is an incremental process and we tighten the acro props a little each day.  Compare this photo to the one above and see how far the stylish hump has gone down.
