I have a 20-year-old house, and one of the wood panels in my floor is out of place, leaving some of the concrete slab exposed. I'm wondering if there's an effective way to reposition this panel back into its proper place. Any tips or techniques would be greatly appreciated!

It's actually pretty straightforward! You can use a knife or chisel to carefully pry and slide the panel back into position. However, once you’ve moved it, you’ll want to secure it so it doesn’t shift again. You might want to remove the shoe molding to give you more room, then use just one small nail to hold it in place. Make sure there's some space for expansion.
Using a bit of wood glue alongside the nail could help keep it extra secure, just glue it to the adjacent board for good measure!
