I just want to say thank you. My Dad passed before he could teach me these things 40 years ago. I've learned so much watching you.

I’ve been replacing water damaged sub floor in my bathroom. That groan when you knelt on the joists really hit home!

If you are reusing the piece you cut out, a quick tip is to make some reference marks on it and the floor. It saves time and frustration when trying to reinsert it later.

I do not understand how you always manage to post a video, on exactly what I've been trying to figure out, at exactly the right time and exactly how I want it done if I don't take it on. 🔨🍺 Thank you!

Cheers, glad you liked this video!

I'm renovating the bathroom in our house that was built in 1948. New plumbing (including sewer,) new subfloor, new walls. Among the many surprises in this project was the fact that they used screws on the original subfloor. That's right, old slotted screws that had to be put in by hand. I couldn't figure out why I was have a hard time pulling them out and why they were thicker than a normal nail until I looked at them closely. The subfloor was diagonally laid boards so it a screw on every board as it crossed the joist. Thanks for your videos. You've been a lot of help on this project.

Our subfloor developed a minor sink in two spots at the beginning of the pandemic. I was able to open it up to ensure nothing was wrong structurally (wife's an architectural designer so she did the ensuring) but you don't know how much I needed this series Jeff. You're a life (money) saver.

At 18:40 -- Why isn't Jeff putting the 2x4s vertical for improved strength? At 19:00 -- Here's why I'm not putting the 2x4s vertical. As always, thanks for the great video!

good use for an oscillating tool to finish up those corners also. if you're worried about sending your sawzall too far through the subfloor!

i love my "Wiggle saw", use it tons for various jobs, even great to removing/trimming shims

This is SUPER helpful!! I own a top/bottom duplex in Alaska that was built in 1971 and I need to soundproof the floor between the joist without tearing up all 3 layers of flooring (700 + sq.ft.). This technique will save me loads of time and money. Your awesome! Thank you Jeff!!

14:50 cleaning up: I removed a mid ceiling soffit that contained light cans in the kitchen ceiling over an island. I was switching to pendants. The soffit had OSB against the bottoms of the joists. As I pulled off that OSB I was treated to 3 pieces of 12-15 inch long 2x4s and a couple of small pieces of OSB tumbling down. As soon as it happened I realized framers had just tossed the pieces of waste there. Your comment told me the previous workers could have been more considerate. I was lucky not to be hurt. I also realized a hard hat and goggles would have been a good idea. Just lucky the pieces didn’t hit me or my wife.

Thank you for doing this! The cost of lumber is insane and youre out here showing us how to not screw up. Greatly appreciated!

Thanks Jeff for all your help. I've been in woodworking for 40 years now & I'm still learning new techniques and getting ideas!

Thinking a helpful tip would be trying to cut your piece close to the inside edge of a joist (you looked a couple inches off in this demo). So instead of having to do joist to joist blocking, you'd be able to just sister a 2x3 or 2x4 along the joist for bearing when re-installing the cutout. Wouldn't have to be right on the edge of the joist, even a 1/2 inch off the edge would give you 1" of wood to support the cutout once you attached a 2x4 to the joist.

I’m trying to fix impact noise in my condo that I run as an air bnb. The property was constructed in 1986 and I had questions, lol. This channel got me doing more than I thought I could do and spending more at the hardware store. Thanks for all your shared knowledge. You are awesome Jeff. I’m literally checking daily for the rest of the videos. Especially if there’s more for impact noise reduction.

This is *EXACTLY* the video I need right now! I have a big plumbing project I have to do later this spring that has to be done solely through access holes in the subfloor. (Mobile home, house is too low to the ground for me to shimmy under there.....at least not if I expect to ever get back out again!)

These are the tricks of an experienced carpenter! This Old House eat your heart out!

I’ve done remodeling my whole life but I still like to watch these entry level tutorials because there is ALWAYS something new to be learned. My only “complaint” about these mock ups is they often fail to account for real life. Putting in the blocking where you have plumbing pipes or other obstructions make screwing them in a bit of a challenge. I’ve seen plumbing run clear up to the bottom of the subfloor before. If you don’t know that and the cut it out in a random square you may find you simply must remove the entire piece anyway. Bottom line is it’s never this easy :). Nice video

You opened that up and took a step (before you said "in real life...) my eyes got wide and gasped. Then I realized it was a mockup. LOL (Insulation contractor myself, so I spend a lot of time walking and crawling on joists.)

Had to remove some plywood where a cat peed and it stained and smelled all the way to the sub floor. Was nervous about replacing it as I've never done it before, but this video made me a lot more confident on how to get it done the right way. Excellent tips and super thorough!

my parents recently bought a home and I have been watching all your videos and doing so many upgrades to the house! it's amazing thank you so much for all your effort and time spent on these videos!!! but these house upgrades are legit an endless process haha, with every upgrade we've done, three more keeps popping up out of nowhere lol

I wish I could have seen this video 17 years ago when I bought my now 70 year old house. GREAT VIDEO!!!! EDIT::::::I am the second owner of this house. It was owned and built by the previous owner, who also built ALL the single family houses in my city.

Thank you for this helpful video. We are new to DIY home building stuff and our first mission is to remove and replace rotten MDF floorboards. After watching your tutorial, I am confident I can do it. Thank you

Seriously the best KZread channel. AND you empower people to solve problems themselves. Thank you!

We are replacing a bathroom and need to recenter the drain for the shower pan. We have 1 inch subfloor plywood!! So this video was perfect since we wanted to try and save as much of the floor that we can.

Wow. I am literally in the midst of a bathroom remodel and was a bit perplexed. I have to replace the subfloor in one area / cutting along the edge of the wall perpendicular to the joists. This is *exactly* what I needed to see and I can apply the solution immediately. Thanks for the fantastic content, as always!

To say you are awesome is a HUGE understatement! You ROCK! who needs a trade school when i can graduate just watching your examples and applying them in real life. Thank you for continuing education for all!!!

Fantastic video and channel you have - it's genuinely made new old home ownership manageable! Your content is very easy to understand with lots of little tips and tricks, and I've been able to safely take on more repair and reno projects than I ever thought before. If only our toilet's wax seal held, I wouldn't otherwise have a reason to replace a section of subfloor but this has all I need. Thanks!

You're such a master at this I wish I could have the time to be your helper and learn from you thank you for the knowledge.

This subflooring series is really informative. Thank you!

Angel for all DIYers, learn a lot from every video

Man, I’ve learned so much from you. I feel like replacing one of your corded tools with an 18v. I don’t even own a house yet but I’ll be ready to renovate.

This is exactly what I need to fix a spot in my floor... when lumber is more cost effective, Thank you!

Thanks for sharing your years of experience with us. Invaluable!!!

Jeff, very timely for me-- need to open the floor to a too tight crawl space to inspect issues. Thank you!

Your videos are a life saver! Perhaps you could make a video with I-joists and closing subflooring. I can't seem to find any info on that. Manufactured joists are common in newer homes here in the midwest USA.

Extremely helpful, thank you!

when he said "let's clean and be kind to each other", I already knew that this guy is one of a kind. Because, believe me, here in the US, especially Los Angeles, contractors are always looking to do a shortcut, a hack job, or mickey mouse whatever you call it. Their mentality is just to get on the job and finish it regardless of the workmanship. They don't care at all. Unlike like this guy Jeff, who is passionate about his work. Carry on sir!!!

Thanks for these video. I am prepping to get into my subfloor because I have a couple really bouncy/creaky and worrying me.

What size screws are you using to re attach the wood panel ?

Thank you!! You just saved me $500 with this video series!!!

I build my floors with dimensioned lumber and plywood subflooring (IMHO - OSB is one mop bucket spill away from turning into sponge board). Before I install my subfloors, I lay temporary 2x6s along the middle of the joists (marked 16" OC) and flatten and straighten the joists from above with screws through the temporary 2x6 spine. Once the joists are straight and true, I permanently lock the locations of the joists in place with central blocking (and remove the temporary 2x6s). I never see a camber (overall warping forces cancel out) and I always wind up with a dead flat floor that will never turn to mush.

Thank you for the great video! 👍

Great video as always! But as someone with a background in Instructional Design (e-learning) I wanted to let you know that although you say "in the real world I'd be standing on the ceiling drywall. Don't do that." Most people will do as they see - you standing between the joists. Not as you say. It's how people are wired.

@10:00 "these nails are designed to work with gravity." Cut to montage of wiley coyote: Nails drywall to ceiling, falls upwards to ceiling. Nails drywall to ceiling, whole floor falls up to ceiling. Nails drywall to ceiling, whole second floor falls down revealing wiley in bathtub. Nails drywall to ceiling, whole ceiling falls down except small circle where nailing. Fade.

Just the tip! 😂 super helpful videos. Thank you!

When Essential Craftsman started building his house and was rolling joists, he put adhesive under the OSB sheets. Seems like a legit "Pro Tip."

This is great

Yikes! My heart skipped a beat when you lifted the subfloor and STEPPED in between the joists. I still suffer from 'put my foot through the ceiling from the 2nd floor' PTSD. lol.

Thank you Jeff, if you for the tip not standing on the drywall

I never take out the battery but I will do it now because I see many times, there might be a potential.

For short little cuts like where he did the corners a Multi Tool is the way to go. Great for cuts in tight awkward places and very little chance of " collateral damage" to other things like the Sawzall.

And once you lift this up you’ll find ..... oh my gosh! It’s Jimmy Hoffa!
