tongue & groove - correct laying

just a curiosity question to make sure i have it the right way: -

on tongue & groove floorboards you have two thicknesses on the tongue. is it the thinner side floor down (joist side)

i guess you got the boards that dont say "this side down" on them! :)

Often the underside is marked from the maching process.... any clues from that?

Another thing, i have noticed a few times, the underside is machined very slightly furher in than the top, making a nice tight joint on the top. Some wickes stuff i used once was like that.

thanks lads for the "P" take, knew i cud rely on you both

also, thanks for confirming what i thought, the thin side down and thick side up to produce a tight fit.

i just wanted to confirm it before i added it to the tutorial.
