Floor secure

Remaining floor fastened with a few exceptions (in floor electrical, detail work) - how for finishing. Planning to sand and likely fill gaps. Ended up using finish head trim screws, the the typical choice for floors but the holes are small, almost no splitting, countersunk for sanding and the boards can be removed within destroying them. Three per (9" true) board and spaced every 24" - seems solid, hopefully the will stay that way.

1/2 of subfloor prep complete

Still seems like a shame to cover it. Now I guess I have to commit to fasteners.

Floor nearly complete

Boards cut and in place at least, not fastened yet - will let them adapt to the climate first. Only just made it with minimal remaining boards pretty poor shape anyway. Not bad for a days work.
Many thanks to Peter for the reclaimed, 1"x10", quartersawn boards!
