The Subfloor was bad

It all started with some weak hardwood behind the vent.

The small spot of weak hardwood turned out to be an entire room and hall way of bad sub floor.

I was hopping for a splice job. No such luck

There was more bad than good, so I decided to replace it all.

The insulation was bad and the floor joists that the original owner had fixed before I would purchase the home were improperly installed.

Whats really bad is the fact that I had two inspections before I purchased the house.

Just another view of the hall way.

After taking out the rotted sub floor, I fixed the joists as best I could and installed new insulation.

Take a look at the old rotten sub floor and jack up old insulation.

The crawl space was a mess.

The new insulation

The beginning of the new sub floor insulation.

The fully installed living room sub floor.

The fully installed hall way sub floor.

We sealed the cracks and sanded were it was needed before we attempted to install the cheapest laminate hardwood known to man. lol

There it is the living room all done. Not super hard to install but the job was made harder by us having purchased cheap flooring. I made it work, so its all good.

The hall way all done. I worked on my normal job during the days and on the floor during the nights. I had no Christmas. It took 7 days, it could have been done in 3 but I had to get rest so I could go to my job. I'm not saying it was fun, but I did learn a lot.
