Home Repairs
So, we have wooden floors through part of our first floor. A few years back my parents' large dog was running around our house like a 100-pound crazed fool, and a strange, round hole the size of a pencil eraser appeared in the middle of the hallway. I sighed and figured that he'd managed to pop out a knot. Mainly, I've ignored it since, although "fill in hole" has been on my mental to-do list since.
This morning I was cleaning up the Christmas mess and realized the hole had increased a bit in size. So, I ran down into the basement and finally got the wood putty and a putty knife. I put putty in the hole, and it disappeared.
Put more putty in the hole, and it disappeared.
Scooped a big wad of putty with my finger and pushed it into the hole, and it disappeared.
The little pencil-sized surface hole took at least several teaspoons full worth of putty before it backfilled to the surface.
