lately I've been looking for cheap houses to buy because I'm tired of renting and I realized that there's a lot of material on youtube about renovating poorly maintained houses, if you start creating content for this genre, it will definitely help many people like me who don't they have the money to pay a contractor and they want to try to do things with their own hands, but all they find are videos of expensive home renovations for rich people.

Right! I hate that people always think someone is being cheap and dont want to pay their contractor. Thats not always the case! Some of us arent rich or drug dealers. Some of us who arent rich still need work done and contractors are severely over priced lately because its a matter of the contractor choosing which jobs they want to take based on the amount its paying instead of taking every job they can get because they are in such high demand. Ive been shitted by so many contractors just doing what ever the hell they want in my house and I find the damage later that I just decided to start doing my own work. Its tough considering my job is labor intensive as well but seems you can never get anything done right unless you do it yourself. Even when you pay.

2:55 and minutes before: You should use a digital caliper, much easier and accurate when your counting such small fractions/decimals.. Secondly, I was at a HD yesterday explaing same thing to old guy employee and he said he used to do floors and they'd use roofing tar paper to close-up the differance if there was any. I'm doing same project btw, removing same type floor boards and replacing with 3/4" (23/32) sheathing ply-wood. My old floor measures between .73 and .74" and the ply-wood is showing me about the same with my caliper..my measurements have a slight contradiction with what the manufacturer states as the "actual thickness". I used a small pocket size digital caliper which I bought in the tool section, measures up to 3" in length or thickness, shows fractions/decimals/millimeters. BTW I measured the hardwood ply and that was also different than the manufactures "actual thickness", twas about .75", the sanded was .70".

I don't know if you saw in the video, but I have added a few joists, same size as the existing, and I put blocking to make the floor level. Now the floor is so strong you could park a heavy car inside and it would not sagg.

can you use 2x4 studs (non pressure treated) to reinforce between the joists instead of 2x6? also what is the spacing required between the reinforcement pieces?

@shedever_designs

3 ай бұрын

I honestly don't know the answer. I heard that using 3/4" plywood is much better than even a 2x6. If you want to reinforce the existing joist, you could sister on a plywood, that is the same height as the existing joist. Do that on both sides. That's what I heard from people who remodel a lot of old houses. I don't know how true or how legit this method is.

My house is an old one too and it has 5/8 inch of subfloor, I want to replace it with 3/4. Should I do that?

Doing a similar thing. Tried a facelift remodel of my master bedroom and ended up having to cut open a 12ft span of the floor to replace termite/rot damaged joists and jack things up because the corner foundation is sunk about 1". I had to rip out my subfloor around the walls so I had to ude little subfloor 1" blocks under every joist/block around the walls to jack it up and then cut notches in my subflooring to slide it up under the bottom plate of the framing. It's a freaking nightmare to replace subflooring when the walls basically all sit on top of it.

Hi Robert, I did. It's not in the video, but I cleaned the whole basement/crawlspace. It's just not in the video. I had no plans to put this video on youtube so this video is not professionally made.

@@shedever_designs oh, also don't understand why in some houses the basement is so low , only 0,5 meter ( 1,5 foot ), imagine having to repair some water tubes etc , very incomfortable

@@santaclaus179 I know. It's redicilous. People don't think or plan ahead. I work as an Architect assistant in Washington state. We make our clients make the crawl space a minimum 36". The code here is 18" minimum. Honestly I wish the code was 24" minimum, because by the time you run all your pipes, gas pipes, duct work, waste and water supply, you loose additional height, and it sucks for plumbers to repair anything. I think the main issue why is because people don't care or their budget is very very low.

Was good to see a project turn out good, but should rename the video to "Watch someone replace subfloor". No explanation about anything.....the whole "How to" part that is needed in a how to video.

I highly recommend shopping for plywood at an actual lumber store. I have had way better luck getting the right thickness, better service, and price.

Hey Westly. I later figure I should keep these kinds of comments to myself. As It's a very controversial comment. Some people love it, some people hate it. Can't please everyone. Some people say so you don't believe in covid. But my comment was more about the situation rather than the virus itself. Anyway, glad you took it the right way. May God bless you.

You missed showing the details!!

OSB wood is not for floors the water is going to ruined it. You could of rented a floor sander and send out the old floor much better material

Not really. If done right, it wont. I mean the whole house is made out of wood. It will last. Just got to do things the right way, protect it from water and you'll be good.

Anyone that uses 'scamdemic' to describe what this world is going through is OK by me! Good job on the floor too!!

Hey Richard. I didn't call "scamdamic" what's happening in the world. Rather what the Elite is making it to be, or what the government does to use. Let's admit, we are nothing to them. But the virus thing is real.

Nails are not a good choice to fasten subfloor. They will most likely pop out. Screws is the way to go

I agree. I actually put some screws afterwards. Thanks.

Is that tongue and groove shiplap for a subfloor? That could have made you a pretty penny if you woulda gotten it out without many cuts
