Question
Recently I have noticed gaps developing between some of our wood floor slats. What options do I have to stop this process and repair the formed gaps? Thanks.

Answer
I am no expert at wood floors. But I went to homedepot.com/tv and they had a good answer there. They use an old boat trick. They use a rope to fill in the cracks after they clean out all the junk and debris that is  in the gaps. They dip the rope in a matching stain to the floors. It seems like an easy solution, hope it helps.
