I know that I need to rais up the floor to match the tile flooring. I have been looking at different ways to do this. One being self-leveling concrete or plywood with a vapor barrier. Which would you advise?

    I am now 80 and have bad knees so it is hard to get down on the floor. My floors are 1/2 in plywood topped with 7/16 in particle board. At least I think it is particle board, that is what it looks like to me. I have some bad flooring in my house but the bathrooms are the worst and I will have to fix them soon. I am mechanically inclined but not much experience in building or construction. I love watching your home repair videos, they are the best of the best in my opinion.
    My Dad and his brother built the house I grew up in. My Dad and his brother were both talented in mechanical things. They could work on cars, build houses, pour concrete and do masonry work, etc. But I always thought my Dad was a perfectionist, and he thought his brother was a super perfectionist. One time he told me "you know how most houses the corners are not perfectly square? In that house all the corners are square." They measured the ends of the roof rafters (no trusses in 1946), and cut and sanded them until they could draw a string along them and get a straight line. My Dad said his brother would drive three nails where one was required. He said " I think he just liked to hammer nails." It was a two bedroom house and they ended up with 6 kids so it got a little crowded, but that is the home of my memories.
    I love watching your videos. You are obviously very talented.

    Jeff, you are the guardian angel of homeowners everywhere. I scheduled a bathroom demo & remodel at the start of the year. My general contractor disappeared without a trace and I had all my materials. The only general contractor who would even quote the project for me wanted 4X the reasonable rate (and he said “thank the pandemic”). Knowing you’re here made it possible for me to do 80% of the work myself. From the whole demo, electrical, (some of) the plumbing, the rough-in of the shower (with inverted shelf), replacement of some of the subfloor, and all new underlayment (thanks to this video). There aren’t enough THANK YOU’s in the word. You’re a guardian angel 🙏🙏🙏

      @readyplayer2 5 років тому +1

      When you’re doing this DIY, you can afford to spend the extra 5 minutes plugging in a jig saw and drilling a pilot hole. The plunge cuts are a “pro” move only in that they’re rapid and save a professional time that they can make more money with. In this case, the time savings are lessened by the extra screws he’s having to drive to hold the two sides of the cuts to the actual subfloor.

    The standard subfloor & underlayment thickness is 1.25"
    Insulate underneath subfloor, ensure it's well screwed to joists with 2.5" flooring or construction screws.
    Lay largest piece of plywood possible, to get factory edges. 4:56
    Layout U shape up, screw every 2" right up along perimeter edge,6"- 8" on the body (hands width).

    What is the size of the fasteners for the underlayment to subfloor?
    Schulter ditra recommends an 1/8" gap between panels, and 1/4" from perimeter, is that an building practice based on a standard?

      Yes the toilet flang has to be installed atop of finished floor or as on professional building prints it is labeled AFF and it is almost always local and state building codes.

    Aren't toilet flanges suppose to be on top of the finished floor? Even in this case it's "embedded" in the floor.

      This is what I was going to ask as well. I haven't done tile tho. I've only installed subfloor on bare joists, and floating laminate flooring on top, so there are clearly scenarios I haven't come across. I saw that tho and was like "wait, what?" ... interested to see the next video with more info on the toilet flange. Thank you

    Hi Jeff, great video!! I'm working on a similar bathroom reno. I have original 3/4" pine tongue & groove boards subfloor circa 1947. I'm adding 23/32 plywood, prepping for tile (or possibly vinyl like you). I'll be installing an acrylic shower pan - should I run the plywood underneath where shower base will be or just set it on the 3/4" original boards? I got 'BCX' plywood. Is this okay for laying tile (will the thinset stick)? Does the plywood screw only into the pine boards or do I need to tie into the joists as well?

Thank you in advance!

    Love this! The units I’m working on right now have plank subfloors. Building is 1927 so not as old as yours but the kitchen and bathroom were redone with osb and a thin layer of plywood a couple decades ago I’m guessing. It’s trashed. Florida humidity and rentals that sit vacant occasionally- the kitchen osb grew (helped by multiple leaks in the adjacent bathroom) so I’m ripping it all out to start fresh and hopefully get it to last and wear better this time around 😉

One question, when installing new osb plywood on top of an old (100 yr) subfloor on my first floor for new hardwood install. Do you recommend using pl premium or other construction adhesive as well as screwing down to help with weak spots or where the screws don’t eliminate all the squeaking? Thank you.

Would you recommend I double up or replace all new flooring with 1-1/8 T&G?
