Be really careful if you are screwing down floorboards. many older houses have electric cables and pipes sat in notches on top of the joists. You don't want to screw through a cable or pipe. Don't think you are safe if you keep away from the middle of the floorboard either. As a rule of thumb you are but I have seen cables right at the edge of the board before.
