| I'm doing some reinforcing to my living room floor prior to installation of hardwood. I'm blocking using 2x10's placed flush to the underside of the plywood, but a friend of mine insists that I should use 3/4 inch plywood for support and not the 2x10's. The 2x10's are easier to transport and cut... Am I ok using them?
Thanks Tom |

| I'd ask over in remodeling. I'm just a homeowner, but I'd use the 2-by material and joist hangers, or maybe just stagger the blocks and nail them from the other side of the joist. Matter of fact, I have done just that. Never heard of using 3/4" ply for joist blocking. Are you doing this to reduce bounce? Are you joists twisted? |
