Are the floorboards on a modern house?  I've drilled an inch down and still not gone through. Crying

Can't you take the board up and find out? That's the point of floorboards isn't it?

Exactly this. I started off right in the corner and have moved in diagnoly about 4 inches (100mm Nev  Smiley ). 3 holes, no joy. (No puns please).
