Can I install backer board on solid wood subflooring like this here or it's better to replace it for 3/4 plywood?

@DoAndBrewDIY

5 жыл бұрын

Howdy Marek Włodarczyk! Unfortunately - you should not install cement board directly to a solid wood subfloor. The best thing to do is install 1/2” plywood over the solid wood subfloor. First screw the solid wood subfloor boards to the joists. Next use construction adhesive and screws placed 6” on center to secure the 1/2” plywood to the solid wood subfloor. Then spread thinset and install your cement board. This will yield the most stable substrate for your tile install to ensure it will last for many years. Good luck on your install and let me know if you have any more questions. ☘️

Doing very similar project on a ½ bath instead of a kitchen. Late 1940's build in the "100% Humidity for Eternity" area of Deep East Texas, also has diagonal solid pine subflooring. Supply line for fridge ice maker sprung a leak in the wall shared with the bathroom, rotted out the subfloor, bottom plate, and the tops of the overlapping joist ends that the plate is toenailed to (supported directly below by a 4× cross beam and brick&mortar column). It's a non load bearing wall, but all of the kitchen appliances (fridge, range, etc.) are right there on the other side of the wall. Before seeing this video, I had been working the plan over in my head, and had come to a sort of 4 part solution. Remove the rot, extend the joists, partial sister (sandwiching in the extensions which bypasses the disconnect in the joist ends through transferance into the exterior "bread" pieces of the joist Dagwood), and then cross bracing. I'm sure it's overkill, but it's such a small area that I'll already have the full length boards so why not use what would other wise be the cut off? Plus, I don't think anyone ever regretted there floor NOT caving in because they built it too well. The things sons do for their mothers... Is that a Bora Bar Clamp?

💁I will have to just give it a shot ☺️

Do you have a video showing the wiring process for a series of can lights and for a series of outlets? I would appreciate it.

What did you do for the planks that did not land on a joist after the cuts? Blocking between joist?

Did this floor require a vapour barrier?

Thanks for the video, I found it helpful as I had to repair three 14 foot floor joist in my 1940's home. I used this video as my guide. I have a question, in sistering the new joist, I found that there is a slight but noticeable difference in the height of the old versus new joist. Do I need to be concerned about this? I suppose I could plane them down some to level things out, but is this necessary? When would you be concerned about the height difference? I would appreciate your thoughts? Thanks.

In Britain we use plastic clips to hold the cables rather than metal.

I’m running into the issue of needing to sister to the floor joists to level the floor out and on top of the the floor is noisy. I have sheets of plywood over top of 3/4 pine as the subfloor. Not sure how to go about it

Love the video. Wondering why you didn’t use treated plywood?

@DoAndBrewDIY

Жыл бұрын

Howdy Richard! In my location the only treated wood permitted for indoor use is the sill board. Yes, treated joists and plywood would most likely last longer, but not always allowed by code. But remember, the reason this floor and most joists needed to be replaced was due to a slow water leak that continued for years - not natural elements. The relatively easy / low cost fix to stop the water leak would have prevented the costly, complete replacement of the floor / entire kitchen remodel. Thanks for the comment and question! ☘️

I have a few comments about the electrical part. You can not install BX wire into a plastic box. Has to be metal. And the wire in a kitchen needs to be 12awg not 14. But over all i think the floor looked good.

Correct; the two small appliance circuits required in the kitchen MUST use 20AMP circuit breakers, 12/2 (20AMP) wire, and 20AMP rated GFCI receptacles. The amount of receptacles on a 20AMP circuit [assuming 1,920 volt / amps per 20AMP circuit] is 10....so you can use the GFCI plus 9 more 20AMP receptacles. These basic code requirements prevent nuisance trips and fires.

Plastic boxes are not rated to use with bx nor mc wire...its only made to use with romex wire....here in Jersey by code you need at least 2 (20amp) dedicated circuit for the counter Recep only..never use 14 wire for outlets...and you need a dedicated circuit for each appliance your having in the kitchen...

Attic floors generally do not get water damage unless you have a roof leak, and if you have a roof leak that damaged the attic joists, you likely have water damage further down as well.

do you think spraying car undercoating on the beams would be a good ideal to keep moisture away from the beams

@DoAndBrewDIY

4 жыл бұрын

Howdy Naveod! Hmmm - I'd have to think on that waterproofing technique. My concern would be that you may completely seal up the wood - which is the goal and sounds good - but if water did find its way in it would have no where to go and the wood would rot. There are some deck beam and joist waterproofing products out there these days, but they seal up the top of the wood and leave the bottom exposed to allow for any water in the wood to dissipate. Thanks for the question!

My OCD would have me cleaning up all that debris under the joists before I laid the sub floor. Just me.

Why don't you use some wood preserver over the new joists?

Hello , I had a quick question. My subfloor and the backer board are laid. As I walk acroos there are areas where the floor is sunken as I walk . Is that normal ?

@DoAndBrewDIY

4 жыл бұрын

Howdy Alejandra Montelongo! It’s hard to say without seeing the floor in person...But no - that is not normal. The floor should be level before tile is installed. However, due to settling in older house, a floor slightly out of level may occur in older homes. For installing larger tiles, the floor is allowed 1/8” of variation in ten feet; for smaller tiles, 1/4” is allowed in ten feet. Anyplace with more than that is out of tolerance for tile install, and something must be done to bring the floor into tolerance so the tile can be installed flat and without excessive lippage. You mention “areas where the floor is sunken” as you walk around. How big is the room? If you are able to notice low spots visually, that is concerning. Is your floor within the tolerances noted above? If your joists are structurally sound, you could use a floor leveling compound to get your subfloor to level. BUT the lever should be applied before the concrete board underlayment.

I assume none of it was done under any kind of permit.

Aren't you supposed to put metal plates on every stud the wire goes through to protect the wire?

I don't get it, constantly similar videos here in YT where floor and some joist are rotted and you doesn't replace all of them. Wood can't be so expensive that it's worth to sister joist and leave some possible partially rotted wood.

Howdy Mr. Wizeguy! Yep - you DON’T get it. Sistering wooden structural members is an age-old technique to repair / replace rotten or week structural members when the is no way to support the new wood that replaces the rotten wood. In this case - if I wanted to remove the entry floor joist - I would have had to pull up the dining room oak floor since these joist support both floors ... why do that? Clearly I cut the old floor joist sufficiently to remove all of the rot...just because a board is old and not the same color as the new wood doesn’t mean it’s rotten.
