The only room left to level is the master bedroom, but to start on it I have to get all that other floor off the floor first. I just threw it down behind the porch, it's interesting how much larger the pile seems in person. I ended up making a post on Craigslist for "Free Firewood" thinking someone might use it as shop firewood. Five people ended up contacting me about it, and none wanted it for firewood... They took most of it so it wasn't even a full trailer load to take to the dump, which was nice.
After pulling I up the subfloor, I was surprised by what I found. It seems there were just 2x6s there originally which just held up the ceiling, but then they added a room and 2x6s aren't really enough for a floor. So instead of replacing them, they just used some 1" thick lumber running across perpendicularly and then 2x4s on top of each of the 2x6s. Everything was nailed together pretty well at least.
Journey through remodeling my house. The original goal of this blog is to look back on the project 20 years from now, when pictures aren't enough to remember everything, and I thought this was easiest way to do it. But I'm regretting that since Blogger's interface is only getting worse. I only update this periodically even though I'm usually working on something and taking pictures.
