Eye candy

In eastern Europe, we build houses of concrete. Molded one-piece house together with the roof. The walls are done with bricks usually and XPS insulation on the outside and inside. I don't know of anyone that has ever renovated anything on a house except washing the outside, repainting and eventually replacing roof tiles.

So to confirm when you rip up the subfloor youll be standing on the ground?

Wood movement always surprises me. Especially after it's been screwed AND glued into place. Crazy stuff. But i was hoping to see some tips on replacing subfloor under a wall.

How would I replace a small area of the floor just cut it out and put particle board down

Why cant you just lay down plywood

Don't worry, I noticed the matching shirts at the end. They need to move you guys to landscape design or something

Going in a Crawl space in Florida – no thanks

Over the last week had sewage build up in my first floor bathroom. It took a whole week before we could have someone come out and get the build up and bloackage fixed. In that time my carpeted bathroom flooded and now we are needing to tear it all up and repair the floor. This video seriously is straight to the point. Got me feeling like I can maybe tackle most of it myself. Ty for this.
