What’s his name?

His name is Twitt

When this happens the wood expands and the lovely solid oak floor becomes a springboard. We experienced this in our bedroom where the wooden boards had pushed against each other and we could see them buckling up. The curve was so great that it stopped a door opening! We had not spilled any water or had a flood, so what happened?
