Improving appearance of wooden floors

The previous owner of my flat took up the carpets and did a DIY job on the floorboards. There are nails sticking up (I've hammered them in but I think the boards flex as we walk over them because a day or two later they're back up), uneven gaps between the boards and the finish is now very scuffed. ...

Neat Paint Edge Tools Recommendations

Hiya
I feel exhausted at the prospect of repainting the bathroom, but it needs doing. I thought my pain might be lessened if I got some kind of tool for doing neat edges - can anyone recommend one they've tried?
