    I put down solid Oak flooring 8 years by secret nailing it on sheets of ply place on the floor joist. I'm now thinking of using it in another room and am considering lifting it and re-laying it in the same manner. I have taken pieces up before for maintanance purposes, however I wondering if anyone has done this and is there any secific way of taking the flooring up with damaging it.
