What a GREAT Video !!! Very Informative!! thanks !!!

I don't do contruction of any kind but I enjoyed this video

Definitely helpful. Keep up the good work because you're great at explaining a process in order to get a good result with minimal frustration. Stuff like mentioning that you don't necessarily need a foam gun like you showed in the video but that it makes the job a whole lot easier for example. I appreciate someone that is willing to at least acknowledge other ways to do the same thing. Instead of only explaining the way that you prefer. Even down to preference in how you shake the can. *Great stuff* pun intended

Thank you, keep me posted on your project. I’m over on Instagram as well, it’s easier for me to help in the DM over there 👍🏼

Love the advertisement! Oh and I guess there was a construction video at the end of it as well.

Great video, thanks. 2 questions: 1. Why did you choose to not have the subfloor go underneath the interior wall? It looks like there's a large gap on the right side between the 1st piece and the existing subfloor next to it. 2. Is there a video on the blocking you did? I'm curious about the sistered joist near the doorway

Very nice thank you

Great vid, thanks! Worth pointing out that the face grain of the plywood should run perpindicular to the joists as you did here (unless you mentioned it and I missed it!)

This is perfect. I kept wondering if you could use screws or needed a nail gun. Im gonma remove some old hard wood in my attic to hopefully use as repair pieces elsewhere in the home, but obviously need to replace it with something. No subfloor currently cuz the home is 120yrs old.

Do you ever use cement board any more for tile floors or exclusively an uncoupling membrane like ditra?

@HomeRepairTutor

Mostly an uncoupling membrane because it’s only 1/8” thick and keeps the doorway transition to a minimum

I did my sub floor and used the 2ft tiles in my bathroom ir turned out great I just need trim

Great tips

Haha, good, you mention cleaner at the end, all video i was wondering, what will happen with this foam inside the tube, the next day :)

Id like to install double 5/8 for a solid floor to tile.

It may just be the angle of the camera, but did you have two adjacent bits of plywood sitting on the one joist? I.e., at the end of a piece, it only uses 1/2 the joist? Or is the next bit along sitting unsupported at the end?

What kind of screws are you using?

good luck for the next person that has to remove that plywood off the joist.

Most likely it’ll pull the bottom most layer of plywood off when demoing

I have a subfloor of 1x6 diagonal planks. I'm redoing the bathroom and putting ditra heat and tile on top. Should I remove the planks or just put plyboard/osb on top of planks?

It’s better to have larger sheets of plywood to prevent deflection and tile failure, but it’s good to know the joist spacing and tile so that you can appropriately plan your subfloor thickness and/or layers

I'm going to need to do this with my bathroom. But with 3/4 inch plus cement board plus tile will I be looking at an additional 1/2 inch rise in the floor? Can this be compensated for by a thinner subfloor or is 3/4 standard?

@HomeRepairTutor

I’d use an uncoupling membrane like DITRA instead of the cement board, that’ll reduce your finished floor height

Hello my friend; consider this. I built a bathroom within a room. I had seriously considered dropping the bathroom floor 1" lower to be in the same plane as the adjacent floor height. I opted not to, and in the end, this anal perfectionist is perfectly at ease with stepping up 1" into the bathroom. In the end, the difference in height didn't matter. I am Very happy with the result. Good luck and respect 👊 Oh and imho, a thicker subfloor will reduce deflection and save your tile grout and tiles from cracking. This is the main reason for the subfloor right? To reduce deflection and spread the load.

Great video as with your others. Curious, would the final floor and new walls close the gap along the outer floor perimeter?

Floating Flooring usually needs 1/4 gap around the perimeter so baseboard end up covering the gaps .

What type of screws and length did you use to secure the plywood?
