Preparatory to moving we need to replace some skirting-board in the living-room. I've pulled the old board off, but the nails which were holding it are still embedded firmly in the wall and I can't work out how to get them out without pulling out large chunks of wall. But they're too flush for me to get a hacksaw in and cut them off. Or should I just make hollows in the back of the new board (which I'm going to be gluing on) to accommodate their heads? They're big old rectangular-cross-section things and look like they've been there for some time...

Put a candle/spirit burner thing underneath them 'til they get hot and then let them cool down? Ought to loosen things up a bit...

Gosh, that's an interesting idea! I shall certainly try that next time, but sadly I'd already drilled them out before reading this.
