I posted last week about a musty old house smell in the dining room. I finally figured it out, now I need creative solutions. We have an original wide plank pine floor that has some gaps and the smell is coming up from the gaps – that “in between the walls” smell. I can not afford to redo the floors anytime soon, but I am considering either painting on some Safecoat in the gaps (clear) or filling with wood filler and staining to match, roughly. These are OLD floors so I think some variation in stain will go completely unnoticed – part of the charm, right? Any other good ideas, something I can do myself for little money?
